You can specify additional options for each serial port separately using the
serial.x.ppp configuration option, which can be found on the Serial port
configuration page for that port.
chap-secrets
The file
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
contains secrets for
pppd
to use when
it authenticates itself to other systems, and also when it authenticates other
systems to itself. Each line in a secrets file contains (at least) the name of a
client, the name of the server, and a secret specific to that particular
combination of client and server.
For a full explanation of the format and usage of the
/etc/ppp/chap-
secrets
file, see the Linux manual page for
pppd(8)
.
mgetty
This submenu allows you to alter the mgetty configuration files,
/etc/sendfax/mgetty.config
and
/etc/sendfax/login.config
.
Clicking on either of these entries brings up a page in the work area which
enables you to edit the file and its attributes directly.
The Web interface does not check that the content of the files will be
understood. You should ensure that the file is valid before committing any
changes, referring to the Linux manual page for mgetty
(8)
if you are unsure.
When you have finished editing a file, clicking Save changes will write the
changes to disk. The changes will not take effect, however, until all mgetty
services are restarted. You can restart all running mgetty services by clicking
Restart mgetty; whilst this occurs, the network will be briefly unavailable.
mgetty.config
The file
/etc/sendfax/mgetty.config
is the main
configuration file for mgetty.
For full details on the format of the file and the options available, see the
explanatory comments within the file, or the Linux info documentation for
mgetty
.
login.config
Normal user logins are handled by the program
/bin/
login. However, you
may want to run a different program to handle logins by certain users. You can
do this by editing the file
/etc/sendfax/login.config
.
