Kiran:
I sent this yesterday. Your answer is here. I had the
identical problem
about a year ago when I was running my ISP. Did you catch my
post?
Here it is again.
--------------------
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: Re: PPP authentication And userid display
Hi Mikkel,
I tried radlogin (configured radius server no different
machine..)but it
was not successful. And in pppd with mgetty is at the same
stage.

The procedure that I am connecting is automatically open a
PPP with a
fallback to username/password. It is working as far as
concerning
authentication....
But My problem is not authentication. The display when I
type "who". I
want to get the userids (login names) when I type the
command who. By
default mgetty is checking for AutoPPP, I want recompile
mgetty with
NOAUTOPPP option, and follow your second option.
Anyone having the link for mgetty.1.1.21 or more
Thanks,
Kiran
