You are obviously using FreeBSD 2.1.{5-7}.  FreeBSD 2.2+ puts users in 
wtmp and utmp, and its getty autodetects ppp and starts pppd.  I have 
made the needed changes to pppd and built the latest getty under 2.1.7, 
and made a terminal server kit for 2.1.5+.  You can get it from 
ftp://ftp.hilink.com.au/pub/FreeBSD/tskit-215.tgz
Note for those who grabbbed my last TS kit, this one is updated.

This kit includes a hack to allow you to specify users who are barred 
from using ppp in /etc/ppp/ppp.disabled.  I will be tidying this hack and 
committing it to -current (and hopefully into 2.2 for release in 2.2.5). 

The README in the kit is more of a MANIFEST - it just tells you what is 
in the kit.  If someone could provide some installation instructions for 
inclusion in the kit, I would greatly appreciate it.

Danny
