Hello from a newbie. I have configured FreeBSD 3.3 RELEASE with kernel ppp and succesfully connected to my ISP. I am using an /etc/ppp/chat-script file which contains my username and password. In order to dialup as a non-root user I must have my chat-script permissions as 440. Is this safe? I am sure that my ISP uses CHAP or PAP, but when I try to dialup with an /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets I cannot connect (I get a connect script failed message).
