where is mgetty and ppp
 

hi ..
i am using red hat linux 9 i am trying to configure Remote Access Server
but i don't have the following file how to get it.. that is mgetty and ppp.sources say that "mgetty can be found at /etc/sysconfig/networking/utilities and "ppp" in /etc/sysconfig/networking/daemons but there i can finds them where is it
or tell me in which cd can i find it supply me the command also..

You can find files with the locate command


locate filename


pppd is the ppp daemon that you need and it is likely that mgetty is not installed yet.

mgetty+sendfax config files are usually in /etc/mgetty+sendfax/, but check for documentation or your install in /usr/share/doc/mgetty????

ppp config files are normally in /etc/ppp/

mgetty+sendfax is not located in /etc how ca i install it

as far as i know both programs come with red hat. so u may have them on a cd or dvd. if not try this

With RedHat one way to find out which rpm you need to install is to install the RPM Database. It is on Source Code Disk 3 under SRPMS.

rpm -ivh rpmdb-redhat-9-0.20030227.src.rpm

Then a command like

rpm --redhatprovides mgetty

Should tell you which package it is in.
