Another option that we use here is to place the user straight into a ppp
session from the /etc/passwd file
eg
username:!@#$%^&*():645:800::/home/username:/usr/sbin/pppd
or even
username:!@#$%^&*():645:800::/home/username:/usr/sbin/pppd : ***.***.***.***
to give that user a specified ip address
then you can remove the line in the mgetty login.config file that relates to
the logins
eg
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap etc..
Hope this helps
