pppd/mgetty dial-in and dial-out problem

2000-07-02 Thread Oleg Goldshmidt
I don't recall having any problems dialing out from my home linux box to different places. Recently I added a dial-in capability, starting mgetty on boot. More precisely, when there is an incoming call from a particular place that logs in as a special user, pppd is started as that user's shell,
