im using kernel 2.6.9 and its configurations do not support PPP. unfortunately imnot allowed to change server config. i get this error while running pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net. See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details. i want to know if i can solve this problem without changing server config,for example by installing a rpm,or adding other files? best regards
What distro are you running? As far as I know all distros have the ppp module installed. Look for ppp_generic.ko in /lib/modules/* find /lib/modules -name ppp_generic\* If it is not there, you are screwed. ppp needs that module ( and ppp_async). Without it ppp will not run. If it is there, install it using modprobe. modprobe ppp - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
