FreeBSD jayk-bsd1 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0: Tue Mar 28 03:10:11 PST 2000

>Description:
Netcom ISP login accounts all start with #. This worked fine in FreeBSD 3.x.
ppp.conf:
set authname #jaykrell
set authkey ***
worked fine. Now in 4.0, the # is seen as the start of a comment.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get an account with netcom, if this is still possible. They've been bought/merged twice, but my account from 1996 works the same as it always has, modulo phone number changes.
Install 4.0 (I upgraded from rom 3.4-Release to 4.0-Stable, as of about March 27, 2000).
ppp -nat -auto netcom or somesuch
or
interace ppp
dial netcom
interactive gives a warning about empty pap name, and fails to connect
>Fix:
I replaced all occurences of '#' in /usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp with '%', but this fix is not acceptable. Maybe I'll debug (find in files) it more now that I've got the source over to a machine with Visual C++..
