When a user tries to logon to my system using mgetty's autoPPP, the
conenction does not take place, instead, ppp exits with the following error
messages

Feb 16 16:49:32 nancy /kernel: pid 11115: pppd: uid 0: exited on signal 11 

I've looked at the output of gdb, and the exit seems to be outside of the
ppp program.

The strange thing, if the person logs in manually, (with pppd set up as the
login shell) they can login fine, and everything works.  I am currently
running FreeBSD 2.1.0 (I know, it's a little back level, but I only have
one computer, and I'm reluctant to upgrade the entire OS directly to a
production environment)

Has anyone ran into a similar problem? I would like to get this to work.
