Full dialup and DNS ok as root, user can only ping the ISP, permission? (now solved)
Hi,
Root has full dial-up and internet access with mozilla. However, as a user I can only connect to the ISP, ping the ISP, but mozilla and konqueror have the same error: "cannot resolve…" I tried to ping corel.com and then its number directly, no success as a user. I come to the conclusion that it is a permission problem. Can you please suggest where to look? I have spent all weekend installing the linmodem, that now works, but I do not understand yet what/ where the permission is about for the net connection. I use mandrake 10.1 CE. I downgraded the firewall setting to normal instead of hig. No success I insmod slmodem (or whatever it is) as root via a CLI. I start Kppp from the user icon (not root) Root access to the net is full via Kppp and wvdial. Thanks regards In case it helps: Code:

What's the output of iptables-save and "ifconfig -a" (the latter when connected)?
|
Thanks. Will post output tonight or tomorrow.
Will also add tail -f /var/log/syslog (for root and user if different) I wondered as well, is it worth checking if some process (ppp?) have the SUID set? Does it matter? Also, here is the procedure I use to connect (in case there was any clue) as root # modprob usr/lib..../slamr # slmodem --countrylist (b4 for the UK) # slmodemd --country=b4 /dev/slamr0 & #ln -s /dev/modem /dev/ttySL0 then as user launch wvdial or kpp via a CLI or via an icon. At this stage only do I start mozilla or try to ping (with the results described in my previous mail) (To get the modem to work in the first place I installed slmodem.xx.rpm that came with the distro) regards |
Nhs,
Here are the info. I looked at quite a few things. Still user1 cannot resolve DNS (or something like that) How do I start the modem modprobe lib/modules/2.6.8.1-10mdk/kernel/drivers/char/slamr # slmodemd --country=b4 /dev/slamr0 & bad country name `b4', using default by code! symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/3' created. modem `slamr0' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/3' Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination. # ln -s /dev/ttySL0 /dev/modem # locate ipta not there So I installed iptables-1.2.9-7mdk.i586 and iptables-ipv6 # iptables-save # ip6tables-save both commands run, no output While running the connection as root [root@localhost user1]# ifconfig -a lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:102 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:102 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:6422 (6.2 Kb) TX bytes:6422 (6.2 Kb) ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:81.78.164.50 P-t-P:195.92.168.45 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:64 (64.0 b) TX bytes:97 (97.0 b) sit0 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4 NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Kpp lauched from root. mozilla launched as user1: [root@localhost user1]# ifconfig -a lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:102 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:102 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:6422 (6.2 Kb) TX bytes:6422 (6.2 Kb) ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:81.78.164.50 P-t-P:195.92.168.45 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:23 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:21251 (20.7 Kb) TX bytes:1560 (1.5 Kb) sit0 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4 NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Apr 26 16:17:06 localhost pppd[4387]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0 Apr 26 16:17:06 localhost pppd[4387]: Using interface ppp0 Apr 26 16:17:06 localhost pppd[4387]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/3 Apr 26 16:17:10 localhost pppd[4387]: PAP authentication succeeded Apr 26 16:17:10 localhost kernel: PPP BSD Compression module registered Apr 26 16:17:10 localhost kernel: PPP Deflate Compression module registered Apr 26 16:17:11 localhost pppd[4387]: local IP address 81...........

Quite wierd. About the only thing which I can think of which could cause a problem is if for some reason the ppp0 interface doesn't get set as the default gateway by ppp0 (which is hinted at by the fact that /etc/ppp/options doesn't have the defaultroute option) in which case it just doesn't know to use that interface for unknown destinations. Once connected try "route add default gw 195.92.168.44" where 195.92.168.44 is the remote end of the PPP connection. If this works then add defaultroute to /etc/ppp/options and/or find the appropriate option for kppp however this looks to be the most likely problem.

Thanks ever so much for the suggestion.
It is appreciated. Will try tonight If you like challenges, I also have a speed problem on my other box, with a different modem but same ISP account, same distro mandy 10.1 CE http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...42#post1612542 I am sure of one thing, I have started to learn how to debug connections. But as a newbee, I still need to understand where ppp0 seats with respect to pppd. Regards |
ppp0 is the network interface (like eth0) and pppd is the program which creates the interface and converts the ethernet-like appearance of ppp0 into a byte stream for the modem's consumption.

success defaultroute pppd option
Nhs,
The route add gw trick worked. Thanks a lot! Also added defaultroute to /etc/ppp/options. It does solve the problem as well. Onto my next modem now: got to have more than 33200 bps! regards PS: How on earth I had the problem in the first place, I do not know |
