I have found lots of documentation on getting user PPP set up, but not
a whole lot on setting up a PPP server. The bit I did see that looked
the most promising would require that I replace getty in ttys with
ppp. I can't do this because, I still need to be able to use the
dialin ports for shell logins and SLIP. The other method I saw used a
ppplogin script. I have not been able to get that to work at all.
The system runs the script and then hangs up. Is there anyone that
can give me instructions or point me in the right direction for this?
Thanks!
