Re: HOWTO: Connect to the internet with ppp
by Leo on Wednesday May 07, @09:59AM
Hi, I saw your examples and are very good. But, I could need if somebody tested ppp in auto mode asking for a passowrd to user. This is wat I'm trying to do: in ppp.conf file leo: set phone "123456" set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 19200 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 15 \ \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT" set authname MyName set authkey \"!/bin/cat /home/pass\" set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0 I whish to save my password in /home/pass file, so when a dial up is made passowrd is read from /home/pass. This is what manual says: If the first character of value is an exclamation mark (``!''), ppp treats the remainder of the string as a program that must be executed to determine the ``authname'' and ``authkey'' values. The version I run is "PPP Version 2.3.3" I couldn't make it works. Did anybody try it? Thanks Leo
