I am having problems with the sliplogin program for FreeBSD 2.0 Release.
I have read the slip_server.FAQ and created all the necessary files for it
to use. However, when I try to login to one of the slip accounts, it gets an
Operation not permitted error on the tty device. Has anyone gotten this
to work? I tried making my slip account with both a regular uid, and with
uid 0. It seems to work better with uid 0, but still cannot start. It also
dumps an '/etc/sliphome/slip.login returned error 512.' to the console. I
am stumped...
