Hi, I had to create a group/user ppp. Then in /etc/passwd, in the following line ppp:x:xxx:XXX:/home/ppp:/bin/bash I had to take out /bin/bash and replace it by /usr/sbin/pppd, which ends up like this: ppp:x:xxx:XXX:/home/ppp:/usr/sbin/pppd I) But since I did that modification, I cannot log anymore with user ppp on my linux box. I enter ppp at login prompt, then my password, and the system log me out in a matter of seconds.. In /var/log/messages, it says: "must be root to run -pppd". So, I guess that I wont have anymore to log as user root on my own system, and that the creation of user ppp with following path in /etc/inttab:"ppp:x:xxx:XXX:/home/ppp:/usr/sbin/pppd" is just for users that log to my system.. Am I right?? II)I had also to add in /etc/inittab : m1:3:respawn:/sbin/mingetty /dev/ttyS3 and then I run telinit q..to confirm changements in /etc/inittab.. But I got error: "INIT: Id "m1" respawning too fast..disabled for 5 minutes" what 's wrong and how resolving that??
