I have been using PPP between a sun 4/330 and a sun SLC (4/20)
connected with 2 T2500 modems. Both systems are running sunOS 4.1
I want to get PPP to work now with a SPARCstation 2 (4/75) running 4.1.1
and it won't work (for me).
What happens is that ppp0 won't come UP
a) I have the source from
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/ppp/ppp-sparc4.1.tar.Z (patchlevel 4)
b) I installed the bug fix from ftphost.cs.athabascau.ca:
sun-patches/100149-03.tar.Z
c) I have ppp.c which has the following at the remote end (work)
if ((pgrpid = setsid()) < 0)
pgrpid = getpgrp(0);
if (tcsetpgrp(fd, pgrpid) < 0) {
perror("ppp: tcsetpgrp()");
exit(1);
}
and the following code in the ppp.c at the local end
if (setsid() < 0)
{
perror("ppp: setsid()");
exit(1);
}
I had to do this strange thing at home to avoid the
"ppp: tcsetpgrp ..." error.
What happen now when I try to connect to the SS2 running 4.1.1
is nothing ( there are no errors). Running ifconfig -a:
(local end)
vato(10)$ ifconfig -a
le0: flags=63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING>

As you can see ppp0 is not UP. The same is true at the other end
(remote end)
zoyd(1)$ ifconfig -a
