What about a generic solution? The problem with the Nate's suggestion is
that one ends up with a sh process for every pppd, while someone is
logged in. I exec pppd, on my own ISP TS, but that prevents the logout
message from being run. The mods below read the ip address data from
/etc/sliphome/slip.hosts, so the same data file can be used for sliplogin.
Ptrout:*:812:800:PPP Login for trout:/etc/ppp:/etc/pppsh
And /etc/pppsh
#!/bin/sh

# Specific login file for machines who want their stuff hard-coded
