I am trying to setup a dynamic slip arrangement using FreeBSD as a slip server. I suppose I will tie each port to a specific IP address, but am having trouble with the actual implementation. I was trying something like this slip-start script contains /usr/sbin/sliplogin `tty | tail -b 6` and has permissions 2555 and is in the SLIP group sliplogin has permissions 4550 and is in the slip group And no person is in the slip group. So ideally, everyone would have to run slip-start, it gives them the slip group, they can then run sliplogin which set's their UID to root so that they can sliplogin with their TTY as their login name. However, this all falls apart because [for some reason] the user isn't able to run sliplogin. Root can run it just find, and if a user is in the slip group, they can run it fine, but the setgroup ID thing doesn't seem to be doing much for it. Any ideas on a workaround? Thanks, -Jerry.
