Apparently, there were about 4 different implementations done, but only one is publically accessible at the moment. This implementation submitted via send-pr and you can get it by doing a query-pr@freebsd.org with a subject [--full 1019]. This version doesn't exec pppd directly, but instead always logins in as 'pppuser' when it detects PPP. pppuser is setup with pppd as the shell. You must use a pppd that supports PAP or CHAP. -mike hancock
