Subject: PPP and wtmp not working together

Hello:
 
I read today that in 2.0, a ppp account is not getting logged
into the wtmp file. I decided to check this out and low and
behold I was unable to get a wtmp entry for a ppp account.
 
I started to play around in the /etc/mgetty/login.config file
which as installed reads
 
        /AutoPPP/ -    a_ppp   /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login
 
 
I changed it to
     /AutoPPP/ -    -     /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login
 
and
 
    /AutoPPP/ -    *    /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login
 
and
 
   /AutoPPP/ -    @    /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login
 
No login line showed up for a finger or who command
and there was no wtmp entry for the account.
 
I then changed the line to
 
    /AutoPPP/ -    userId   /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login
 
An and the entries I was expecting.
 
Can someone tell me how to configure login.config or ppp to
log and display active ppp user ids.
 
 
Peter
