The patch is on it's way to him and has also been cc'ed to hackers. I've been asked to hold back until FreeBSD-2.1 has been released, as it would make David's job more difficult with bigger diffs to read through. BTW: the name in the $Id$ line isn't really a good guide as to who's the maintainer. Right before 2.0.5 was released, Rod was the one who did the (infamous) "Delete trailing whitespace" cleanup, so his name is the last one that was stored on may files in the release. Incidently, I'm not sure that this patch is the best way to do it.. From what I've seen, it looks like it might be just as easy to create a hack script like this: % cat /etc/ppp/startup #! /bin/sh case "`tty`" in /dev/ttyd0) args=":ppp-005.toplink.de" ;; /dev/ttyd1) args=":ppp-005.toplink.de" ;; /dev/ttyd2) args=":ppp-005.toplink.de" ;; ... /dev/ttyd7) args=":ppp-010.toplink.de" ;; *) echo "This tty not supported.."; exit 1 ;; esac exec pppd $args And set the login shell of each "user" to be "/etc/ppp/startup". Their .ppprc will still work the same.
