The system I log into requires that a ppp process is started form the terminal server command line (i.e. no PAP authentication - the user logs in to the terminal server as a normal login). The thing that worries me is that I have my password stored in plain text in my ppp.conf file. What I would like to have is for the PPP process to prompt me for my password when the login script starts. Is this possible ?? thanks, ========================================================================= Carey Nairn ! email : Carey.Nairn@its.utas.edu.au Networks and Communications ! phone : (002) 20 7419 Information Technology Services ! fax : (002) 20 7898 University of Tasmania. ! =========================================================================
