I've tried a few more configuration file variations, but have given up on 'asppp' on the Solaris 8 system I have in the field. This is an older build: Solaris 8 10/00 s28s_u2wos_11b SPARC. The asppp program continues to exit with "tcsetattr failed Error 5: I/O error" after the login program starts /usr/sbin/aspppls However, I have been able to get the ANU ppp software to work. After a minor problem with the build/install, it was trivial to configure and get running for a dial in server. The most recent official release 2.4.1 isn't set up to build with gcc, which I use. On the recommendation of James Carlson, I used the current CVS version. The other complication is having a version of gcc that can build 64 bit modules. These packages from sunfreeware.com work: gcc-3.2.2-sol8-sparc-local binutils-2.11.2-sol8-sparc-local I've installed 'binutils' to get the current version of the assembler. I haven't tried using the Sun assembler; I've had it disabled for years now because of some other problem with gcc. If the 'ld' linker in GNU's binutils is used, the makefile solaris/Makefile.sol2gcc-64 needs to be changed so "-m elf64_sparc" is passed to the GNU linker. I also received these helpful references: > Michael H. Auria: > Haven't done it myself but check out www.stokely.com . James Carlson noted that sections related to Sun PPP 4.0 (based on ANU ppp) were incorrect - a request for change has been made to the authors. There is also http://www.kempston.net/solaris/pppserver.html and document 18363, "How to set up dynamic client and server ppp" on SunSolve. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Mar 31 11:45:38 2003
