Kiran:
I had this same problem about a year or so ago with a
version of ppp. But my answer or the answer that was given
to me was to upgrade the ppp package. I did that and it
worked. I currently have a networked (RH 6.2) server on a
school locally to me that wanted one dialup modem and I ran
into the same problem. This time I tried something a little
less radical than rebuilding ppp, that being using the touch
command to update the time stamp on the /var/log/wtmp file.
So as root type touch /var/log/wtmp and see if the next
login shows up with a user name. If that fails grab a tar
ball of you existing or updated ppp package and build it and
that should definitely work. If you have any more problems
just throw me an e-mail.

Subject: PPP authentication And userid display
Hi,
I am trying to use my redhat box as a dailin server by using
multitech
cards. I am able to login as a user with password, if the
user exists in
/etc/passwd.
But when I try to find out who are logged in on my machine,
by using the
command who or finger, I am not getting the required data.
By "who" I am getting every dialup user is a_ppp and in
"finger" I am not
getting the dialup user list.
How can view the login "userids" (from the dialup, not as
a_ppp) by using
who or finger.
Thanks,
Kiran
