Hi all, I'm trying to configure my FreeBSD server (HP LC 64/2Go, FreeBSD 2.1) to serve as a PPP server for my remote users. I want the following behaviour : - no login shell started, direct CHAP authentification - remote IP address choosed by remote adressing for some users, and server adressing for others one (to allow someday packet filtering : some users should be able to access local machines/services, others no) What is the best choice for this : kernel PPPD ou user mode PPP ? In fact, i want to reintroduce the behaviour that i have with Morning Star on my old Sparc 1/Sun OS 4.1.3 Can i start ppp directly from /etc/ttys (whithout getty) ? I have no luck whith this, because i always have a login prompt , even if i add lo=/usr/sbin/ppp -direct [someusers] in /etc/gettytab. I have read the handbook, FAQ and others documents, but there is no relay good advice on "server side" PPP. Futhermore, when my 2 standard serial ports will be used, what is the best choice for adding 4 or 8 input (Digiboard ?) Thanks in advance, excuse me for my poor English :-) Yours sincerly, -- Alain Thivillon -+- Alain.Thivillon@alma.fr -+- Alma, Grenoble
