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
