But I am confused on the use of the "login" option for it. Can someone please clarify it? To use the /etc/passwd, does getty need to answer the line? Or can pppd do that and still use /etc/passwd? -- Jeff Kane jkane@execpc.com Sysop - Home Brew University BBS Brew City Campus 414-238-9074 Genealogy Search: Brickner, Kane, Kimbro, LaClaire, Snyder|Snider, Seecs|Seetch|Sich, and Thorton.
