Hello!
I've got a slight problem. I have always before been able to connect to the
internet using my 56K V90 modem. Setup in the program kppp has been
straightforward, but since I upgraded my Debian system to unstable (Sid) and
built a new kernel (2.6.3) I have had a problem.
The modem dials, and seems to connect, but I can't go to any webpages. I
don't think it's a DNS-related problem, I think it has something to do with
the "interface" ppp0. Please observe that the connection is not abrupted
immediately, I've specified "noauth" somewhere rootish. This is the output
from kppp in the xterm from which it was run:
Opener: received SetSecret
Opener: received SetSecret
Opener: received OpenLock
Opener: received OpenDevice
Opener: received ExecPPPDaemon
Kernel supports ppp alright.
pppd: using the noauth option requires root privilege
received unexpected SIGCHLD.
In parent: pppd pid 1114
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
....
(this actually repeats over and over until I press Cancel in the kppp
window)
Opener: received RemoveSecret
Opener: received RemoveSecret
Opener: received OpenResolv
Opener: received OpenResolv
error opening resolv.conf!
Opener: received KillPPPDaemon
In killpppd(): Sending SIGTERM to 1114
Opener: received RemoveLock
Thanks for any help!
/Tomas

If kppp works it is fine. If it does not it is a complete piece of junk,
and gives no or completely confusing error messages.
Make sure that you have the word
debug
in /etc/ppp/options, and have the line
local2.*;daemon.* /var/log/ppplog
in /etc/syslog.conf
( and run
killall -1 syslogd
just to make sure)
Then look in the file /var/log/ppplog after a connection attempt.
It may well be that your new kernel has not made /dev/ppp (does it
exist just after one of your attempts?
Note also the line
"Error opening resolv.conf"
Have you checked that /etc/resolv.conf is readable by all?
That it even exists?

This error message comes from pppd/options.c in the pppd source.
So I think you might be mistaken in implying that noauth is in a
(user readable) privileged options file, i.e., /etc/ppp/options or an
options file read using the call option. Or perhaps the device file
for the serial device is not specified in a privileged options file?

Done this! Couldn't find an error (don't really know what I'm looking for
though). Still not able to access any webpages while connected. Here

That means that you have the "proxyarp" option in your configuration,
and you probably shouldn't. If this log is not from the dial-in
server system (and it looks like it's not), then "proxyarp" isn't
right at all.
Beyond the warning message, though, it doesn't hurt.

That looks like a good PPP link. Whatever's going wrong here, I don't
think that it's a PPP problem.

Perhaps 'pppd' itself isn't owned by root or doesn't have the setuid
bit on it. It should. Or you have 'noauth' in some unprivileged
location as well. You need to have it in a privileged location, *IF*
you use it at all.
The fact that you need to use it, though, points out that you may well
have other problems. Do you have a default route? You almost
certainly should not, if this PPP link is dialing into your ISP.
Instead, you should have the "defaultroute" option in /etc/ppp/options
(or /etc/ppp/peers/*, as that's privileged as well) and pppd will
establish the default route when the link is up.

What other file?
Are the contents correct?

The remote side is asking you to log on That packet says
sername:
YOu may have sent a carriage return to the far side befor you opened
pppd (you did not include the chat negotiations.-- ie you forgot the
local2:* or you forgot the -v option to chat)

The the remote side seems to give up asking for username and instead
starts ppp negotiation. Weird.
