[NTLUG:Discuss] PPP server on Red Hat

[lee]

i set mine up according to the mgetty howto (a long time ago) and 
/etc/ppp/ppplogin is a shell script:

#!/bin/sh
mesg n
stty -echo
/usr/sbin/pppd silent auth -chap +pap login

needless to say, but i'll say it anyway:  there are many many variables 
and configurations that go into serving up dial-in ppp service  :)
