Hello, I use mgetty ( mgetty-1.1.9-4.i386..rpm) to have users calling into my machine. mgetty is already installed and I ve configured most of it's files: /etc/mgetty+sendfax/dialin.config , mgetty.config and login.config. I want a user, we'll call him ppp to log into my machine. But in order not to use auto-ppp and depend on pap-secrets, I wanted to make pppd the user's shell: # I had to create a user ppp. Then in /etc/passwd, I ve got to modify 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. # Then I added /usr/sbin/pppd in /etc/shells ..... But since I did that modification, when I log with user ppp, (I enter ppp at login prompt, then my password..then) I get the ppp garbage y}#A!}!}&E0....on my screen..and in a matter of seconds, it gets me back to the login prompt!!! Some of you asked me to do chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd, but the problem is still the same. Thanks for help
