Server Side BLACK BOX ® Advanced Console Server Setup
Step 1: Enable authentication.
Enable the desired authentication in /etc/mgetty/login.config. For instance, you may
want the following authentication in /etc/mgetty/login.config to enable PAP and
system password database authentication:
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/local/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login
nobsdcomp nodeflate
Step 2: Configure a pseudo callback user.
Add the following line to /etc/mgetty/login.config with the appropriate values. Do
this before the line /* - - /bin/login @/ at the end of the file.
<pseudo callback name>
-
-
/sbin/callback -S <phone
number of the client>/
ie:
call
-
-
/sbin/callback -S 12345
'call' is the pseudo callback name. '123456' is the number to dial back.
Step 3: (If you plan to login through PPP with PAP authentication) create pap user name in
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets.
Add a line similar to the following: (include the quotes and the two asterisks).
"myUserName"
*
"myUserNamePassword"*
Step 4: (If you plan to login through PPP) follow steps 4 - 9 in the section above on Modem
PC Cards.
Step 5: Create users.
Step A: Create a new user with the command
adduser myUserName.
This will create an entry in /etc/passwd that resembles this:
myUserName:$1$/3Qc1pGe$./h3hzkaJQJ/:503:503:Embedix
User,,,:/home/myUserName:
/bin/sh
