Standard system getty works just fine now. Having a little trouble getting the server to assign me the right address is all, but I think I will get that next. Right now, I have a single line in ppp.secret on the server: chuckr * 206.246.122.117/32 no password here, it's getting that (because of the "enable passwdauth" line) from /etc/passwd, but if I put a phony entry into ppp.secret with garbage for a IP, that IP gets chosen, not the one for chuckr. It's nearly there, after I get that done, I gotta get it working for dynamic IP, then I do a perl script for setting up the ppp.secret automatically, then I am done. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
