I'm getting tired of manually dialing out with kermit, logging in, suspending kermit, and launching pppd. As a first stage in automating the process I thought I'd try automating the login process with pap. Does anyone have an example they could share? I think my problem is creating /etc/ppp/pap-secrets, I know the "secret", but have questions about how to indicate my login user name. Adding +pap and -chap to /etc/ppp/options produces a message pppd: peer authentication required but no authentication files accessible What permissions should the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file have? Am guessing read-only for root is best. Normally I dial out as myself but the above error was as root. Possibly ought to use ppp rather than pppd but I got pppd working first. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
