Hello all: I have adjusted by pap-secrets file as follows:
#magic fix * * "" not >> # magic fix >> * * "" * I have tested with and without shadow passwords and all works fine. I think the trick is in the /etc/mgetty/login.config. I had to specify login in the AutoPPP line. OR perhaps its some other little setting I am over looking. For example. in my /etc/ppp/ options.ttyS0 options.ttyS1 options.ttyC0 ..... I specify the following: *** options.ttyS0 file *** moose:moose-s0 not moose-s0:moose as indicated in the example *** options.ttyS1 file *** moose:moose-s1 not moose-s1:moose as indicated in the example In my /etc/hosts file I give the indicated nodes IP addresses. ie: 142.154.27.2 moose <--- multiport server 142.154.27.10 moose-s0 142.154.27.11 moose-s1 Peter -----Original Message----- From: Irmund Thum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Date: Thursday, January 15, 1998 7:15 AM Subject: Re: PAP - Shadow passwords may also make a difference >> I had this problem; PAP just didn't damn well work.
