Stephen;
I anticipated the same problem by making a small change to the chat
program. I modified it so that any 'reply' string that started with a '$'
caused an environment lookup.
312 if (*sp != '\0')
313 *sp++ = '\0';
314
315 /* RPT -- substitute an envronment variable if the string
316 starts with $, else send as is */
+ 317 if (*arg=='$') {
+ 318 envP = getenv(&arg[1]);
+ 319 syslog(LOG_INFO, "chat substitute %s = %s",
arg,envP?envP:"NULL");
+ 320 arg = envP?envP:arg;
+ 321 }
322
323 if (sendflg) {
324 chat_send (arg);
325 }
Now I use a script around the command that that takes the expected
Secureid as an argument, puts it in th elocal environment and the starts
pppd. The chat script then passes that at the challenge.
