Haven't tried it with Win95 yet... Should I expect any problems????? I've got it working with my FreeBSD machine, and with a couple of Win 3.1 machines using Trumpet Winsock. Unfortunately, I don't have a win95 machine handy. :( I like this setup, because it doesn't require every user to have their own account with home directory etc on the FreeBSD terminal server box. Users still need accounts for mail, but that'll probably be on another machine anyway. > Anyway, try using ip-up and ip-down for logging. Our machines aer set up Hadn't thought of that... Hmm... [clickety-clickety "man pppd"]... It seems that the user name is not passed to that script. Using dynamic-IP, there's no way to associate the address with the username, and it's the username I need for billing purposes. > Also, I think the newest pppd (in -stable) logs the amount of time pppd > was used to syslog.

I'm beginning to doubt that I can do this unless I set aside some time to Use The Source. I'm really glad the source is available. :) ===================================================================== | Steve Reid - SysAdmin & Pres, EDM Web (http://www.edmweb.com/) | | Email: steve@edmweb.com Home Page: http://www.edmweb.com/steve/ | | PGP (2048/9F317269) Fingerprint: 11C89D1CD67287E68C09EC52443F8830 | | -- Disclaimer: JMHO, YMMV, TANSTAAFL, IANAL. -- | ===================================================================:)
