Micheal I hope you come out better than I have! You wish not to get
responses, I started this thread, and still have not gotten the answers I
needed. I need PAP authentication on the server side. All of you user
ppp advocates, how does it work as a server, not the client, while using
PAP as authentication, not login.
I have yet to get even one resposne that anybody has the "login" option
in kernel pppd working. Every itme I try to use it, It core dumps. I
suppose I should send a bug report to freebsd. I will give it one last
week to see if anybody can ocmeup with a working example. BTW: I did
get an answer that it worked in LInux. Maybe it was never fully tested
when it was ported??
