Hi, I have previously used the following scripts to dial into my employer. I am prompted for userid and a password (which is dynamically created for me by a little credit card security number generator). I haven't logged onto work for some months, and now, when I try to use my recently upgraded 3.0 box to do it the chat script doesn't work. The !/etc/ppp/prompt_password no longer attaches to the ppp terminal but connects to some other file descriptors. Is there any way to get the old behaviour back? (I had a brief look at the code but got quickly overwhelmed...) Here are the relevant portions: >From ppp.conf: set login "TIMEOUT 5 Username:-\\r-Username: !/etc/ppp/prompt_passwd word: !/etc/ppp/prompt_passwd ~" doorway:~> more /etc/ppp/prompt_passwd #!/bin/sh echo -n "($*) " >&2 read x echo $x exit 0 Thanks, Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
