All of you user : ppp advocates, how does it work as a server, not the client, while using : PAP as authentication, not login. I wouldn't wanna *bash PAP* -- you won't get any *PAP smears* from me. <sorry -- the compulsion won> : I have yet to get even one resposne that anybody has the "login" option : in kernel pppd working. Every itme I try to use it, It core dumps. I : suppose I should send a bug report to freebsd. I will give it one last : week to see if anybody can ocmeup with a working example. BTW: I did : get an answer that it worked in LInux. Maybe it was never fully tested : when it was ported?? Uh, yeah, it works in Linux. Anyway, I defeated disktab and disklabel sufficiently to get past that stumbling block last week, and diddled the kernel options to get SCSI stuff turned off and PPPD operational, yesterday. That means that *probably* I will be trying to get FBSD to work with PPPD, an /etc/ppp/options file and a chat script ... oh, Friday? If you kinda get the feeling that nobody in the newsgroup gives a red rosy rat's behind about silly newbies trying to do stupid ppp tricks, I kinda get that feeling, too. Eh, big deal; it's par for the course. for any non-commercial venture. I've never bothered with PAP and CHAP stuff -- security around here consists of who DOESN'T know your password. I'll let you know what happens with the pppd script, though.
