 Why does BSDI add a P to the begining of the usernames of people
using PPP accounts? This kinda sucks because all I want them to do is
login using their name say, "georgeb" but bsdi makes it "Pgeorgeb"
which really sucks and is not what I want to do at all. How can I
ditch this? Also, when will we have CHAP auth. for BSDI? My PPP users
are sick and tired of having to bother with dialing scripts and so on?

 Camon BSDI! GET WITH THE TIMES!
