G'day everyone...
Seems like I've been trying to do this for ages now ;) I'm trying to get
the AutoPPP features of mgetty to dump a user into pppd with PAP
authentication based on the /etc/passwd file. I've got that much working -
everything's fine. The only difficulty now is that when a user's logged on
via AutoPPP, he's logged in the wtmp file (there's an entry for his
username when I type 'last'), but he doesn't appear to be being logged in
utmp - so the 'w' or 'finger' commands don't show him. This makes things
rather difficult for user tracking. ;)
Has anyone managed to get pppd to log the user in both the utmp and the
wtmp files?
I'm running stock FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE.
Thanks,
Justin.
