Topic: SME as dial-in server

[Rok Rebolj]

Hi all,

we have an SME 5.1.2 server acting as domain controller and an internet gateway (ADSL connected). Now we'd like to use it as an internet entry point for home-workers dialing into it via ISDN line as well. What needs to be done for this functionality?

Any advice greatly appreciated,

Rok

There was a user contributed RPM, by Steve Noble I beleive, that provided this. I tested this on either a 4.11 or 5.0 testbox earlier this year and it worked great.

Search the forum & contributed area for "dialin".

Hi Stephen,

I followed your Dial-in Server Howto procedure: installed mgetty-1.1.22-1.i386.rpm and e-smith-dialin-0.4-2.noarch.rpm, enabled a user, turned on the Dialin feature and created the modem. But when I enable the modem, there is a continous flow of errors in the logs. Here is what gets repeated every second or two in the mgetty.log.ttyS0:

07/02 11:30:53 yS0  mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.26-Apr16
07/02 11:30:55 yS0  init chat failed, exiting...: Invalid argument
07/02 11:30:55 ##### failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS0, pid=23590

How do I troubleshoot this?

Forgive my ignorance but I'm new to Linux.
