There's a bug in pppd that cause it to ignore efforts to tell it not to show PAP passwords. Comment out the 'debug' option in /etc/ppp/peers/provider and it will stop (but so will most of the useful pppd mesages). I don't know why xconsole lets users see /var/log/ppp.log. I'd call that a bug in xconsole (I don't use it so I don't know much about it). -- John Hasler This posting is in the public domain. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do with it what you will.
