WAMPES creates user accounts autmatically on 1st connect. That's supposed to be a *feature*. As a result I haven't looked at WAMPES in years. The patches I supplied to the author of TNOS expects a TNOS account to run under FreeBSD. Went so far as to install the binary as setgid "dialer" so it could lock its serial port(s). There was a minor thread a while back on a TNOS list where it was learned that almost none of the Linux users of TNOS understood why running it as root was bad. :-( >and have it's own directory in the root filesystem, so I >passed on that! By default TNOS does expect to live in a /nos directory. That is changable at compile time, and possibly in autoexec.nos. >You're welcome to what I have if you want to play with it.
