Here's what I did. /etc/ppp/options: ----------------- crtscts # Hardware flow control netmask 255.255.255.0 # netmask (not required) domain sri.MT.net # Our Domain passive # wait for LCP modem # modem line proxyarp # Arp for these guys lock # User modem lock lines asyncmap 0 # 8-bit clean line -detach # Don't detach if the serial line is specified login line out of /etc/passwd: ------------------------------ Ptrout:*:812:800:PPP Login for trout:/etc/ppp:/etc/ppp/Login-trout /etc/ppp/Login-trout -------------------- #!/bin/sh # # Specific login file for machines who want their stuff hard-coded # PATH=:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin export PATH mesg n stty -tostop exec pppd `hostname`:trout Using these lines I'm able to do hard-coded logins to my box.
