Modem Dial-Up: Password Request Through kinternet
Support knowledgebase (thallma_kinternet_askpwd)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 7.3
Symptom
You have configured your modem dial-up in such a way that it does not save you Internet
access password but requests it everytime you want to connect to the Internet. Unfortunately,
this does not work when using kinternet.
Cause
The cause is an error in the SMPPPD package.
Solution
Download the debugged version from our FTP server (or one of the FTP mirrors - http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/ftp/int_mirrors.html):
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/arvin/7.3/smpppd-0.49-7.i386.rpm
Install now the new package by executing the following command as root user:
rpm -Uhv smpppd-0.49-7.i386.rpm
