Gday.
I'm not sure if it was here or in another freebsd-list (in
relation to bug/1019) but the discussion was about getting
FreeBSD getty's to autodetect PPP and run the appropriate
stuff...
Well I though that was a great idea, because then the Win95
guys don't even have to have scripting then...
We use mgetty here.. so I checked the latest mgetty beta
099-may31 and you compile that with -DAUTO_PPP and that works
swell...
The user level ppp needed some real hacking... I ended up
hacking another version just for auto_ppp stuff... instead
of using the ppp.secret file (what a _interesting_ idea) it uses
the password file... which sort'a means that anyone with
a valid login can login... but its easy to restrict to
certains groups.. or even to authenticate from a mSQL database!
Anyway... just to let you all know... anything is possible with
FreeBSD... (although getting the username logged out of
the utmp? file when ppp_n_pap exits hasn't happened yet :{ )
Also, be warned the -stable user ppp code is screwed in os.c
for more than 10 tunnel devices... i guess thats life...
FreeBSD on!
Regards,
Peter
