Think about it carefully. pwin is started by root, as is pppd. pppd does not know who is logging on until it has been started and negotiates a user/password. pwin *never* knows who is going to log on. Try using the ppp-up, ppp-down scripts for what you are trying to do, whatever that is. /* Daniel O'Callaghan */ /* HiLink Internet <http://www.hilink.com.au/>; danny@hilink.com.au */ /* FreeBSD - works hard, plays hard... danny@freebsd.org */
