BTW thanx for writing it! Hi, It wasn't hard, I've been in getty often enough in the past. Special thanks to Mike Hancock for a kick in the rear that allowed me to see how easy it was to do ;-) Local policy here is to authenticate with PAP out of the system password database. This has the jolly nice side effect of giving users one (and only one) password to remember and (more importantly) to forget. However, my stuff does not deal with the authentication. If you can do it with the pppd in 2.1R, you can do it with mine. The only changes I made to the PAP/passwd stuff was to check the account expiration field for expired accounts, and to put the user in the utmp file. Enjoy, ...
