Hi, when a friend tries to establish a PPP connection to
my computer (he's got Linux + PPP, me FreeBSD 1.1R) I get these
messages:

> Jul  1 10:42:20 Osmeh pppd[407]: warning... not a process group leader
> Jul  1 10:42:20 Osmeh pppd[407]: ioctl(TIOCSCTTY): Invalid argument

Could it be because topology is somewhat like: 
Linux_host(valid chat script)->My_gateway(rlogin -8...)->my host(of course ttyp?)

I have a kernel w. 2 pseudo-device ppp 2 line in config file, and here's
the output of netstat -i:

Can anyone tell me where we are going wrong? Is it even possible
to make it go through a pseudo terminal?

Matt.
