I am still trying to resolve this problem, but I would like to thank the
following persons for taking time from their busy schedules to answer this
question. My original question is at the bottom of this posting.
As I am new to Unix and Solaris, part of my problem is that I am sometimes
not sure of how to properly phrase a question. ( The remaining 90% of the
problem is that I am the only computer tech for our school district--and as
such--I mostly am working on our Mac's and PC's--I don't get a lot of time
to work on this
Sun Server)Please do not misunderstand me here. I have the greatest respect
for the members of this list, and I know most of you are very, very busy also.
Back to the subject--The source of this problem is affecting more than just
the ppp--although I did not know that at the time of the original post--but
when
we dial in from home--the Login Screen on the terminal window is full of
garbled
characters and extra x's o's and 8's--so whatever is at the source may be
affecting the ppp--but it involves more than just the ppp.
Thanks to: Clara Hatem, Celeste Stokely, and Patrick Hawley.
Special Thanks to Jim Gillmore, who was kind enough to send a copy of his
ttydefs file.
The answers I received are as follows:
Celeste Stokely suggested the PPP FAQ at:
http://www.stokely.com/unix.serial.port.resources/ppp.slip.html
Clara Hatem also suggested Celeste Stokely's URL ( see above).
Patrick Hawley suggested the Solaris 2.4 FAQ at:
http://www.sunhelp.com/faq/sunppp.html
And as mentioned before, Jim Gillmore send me a copy of his ttydefs file.
Original Post:
Hi Sun-Managers:
I am still attempting to troubleshoot our login problems with ppp.
Can you provide me with any background info on files or services that
provide communications protocol info--such as parity bits, stop bits
and data bits? What file or service in solaris 2.5.1 provides this?
Also, if it is at all possible, can someone who has ppp running
successfully with Solaris 2.5.1 please send me a copy of your
/etc/ttydefs file?
I am not sure if we received the complete set of manuals for solaris, but
I could not find anything about ppp in the manuals we have.
Your help is very much appreciated, as I have many irate users who would
like this ppp service running again.
Thanks in Advance, and I will summarize.
This is the /etc/ttydefs file on our server:
