As I said I use the pp=/usr/local/bin/ppplogin feature which is implemented in the getty(8) process. Now here is what happened: 1. The remote machine gets dialed and CONNECTs. 2. There is some noise on the line (which hasn't occured while the machine was here in the lab) 3. These noise characters fill the login: prompt of the running getty(8). 4. getty(8) thinks it is a username and launches login(1). 5. login(1) alternatingly keeps wanting a login: and a password: string. I now synchronize the chat script to a "ogin:" prompt and issue than a CTRL-D. So login(1) terminates and control is passed over to getty(8) with a clean line. Might we add this to the FAQ? -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
