I have a few dial in modems set up on a freebsd box. Windows clients dial in through dial-up networking to connect to the network. This all worked very well until I lost the hard drive and had to restore it. Now Windows dial-up networking cannot connect by itself. The username/password handshake is screwed up. As an example, when a user dials in with dialup networking trying to authenticate, the following shows up on ps -x: 14259 pil I<s+ 0:00.07 login -p }#@!}!}!} }7}"}& This EXACT situation happens on many different windows clients (95, 98, NT, etc). Even the mungled username in the ps -x list is the same. This happens on three different types of modems in the Freebsd box. Here's the really weird part: if I have dial-up networking open a window after connection, the "login:" prompt comes up without incident, and the user can authenticate. Any ideas on how to fix this?
