AutoPPP q's

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

I'm trying to understand how mgetty + pppd + autoppp all work together
nicely. Here's how I understand it:
 - Win machine dials in, mgetty sees it wants ppp and runs the command in
   loign.config.
 - If a non-win machine dials in, it doesn't auto-sense ppp, so login is
   run, the user gets a prompt and the user's shell in /etc/passwd is run.

Please set me right if that's not the way it works.
What OSs do use autoppp and which don't?

Could I make this line: "* - - /bin/login @" the same as the AutoPPP line,
because all users dialing in will use ppp.

BTW, reading the docs and everything mgetty can do it looks REALLY great,
can't wait to start using it.

Thanks
