I'm not tempted to accept it (we neither try to make getty smart about detecting SLIP or UUCP sessions, so why should we care about a Netcrap dialer?), but the reason that some PPP packages don't understand a regular Unix login sequence but wanna use PAP or CHAP instead doesn't sound totally unreasonable. At least, everything is hidden inside a gettytab option, and off by default. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
