I won't even try to guess, but since for some reason I received this
message twice, I will butt in (again??? not sure, I forget):
Another option we use here ...
ppp::1002:1002::/home/ppp:/usr/sbin/pppd
No password. Simple. (But trusting pppd rather a lot, perhaps.)
And /home/ppp/.ppprc says ...
115200
auth
require-chap
refuse-pap
nodetach
idle 1800
lock
I think (but haven't got it going yet) that one can use auth-up to
do things to wtmp or otherwise account, so there should be no need
for a user-specific ppp login. So if you want "modem with ppp
only", this is the way... no user login accounts at all.
