FWIW, I work with the author of the SSH+VPN HOWTO, and we plan to rewrite that HOWTO sometime soon. pty-redir hasn't been required since sometime very shortly after it was written. pppd has the ability to allocate a pty and run a subcommand for I/O rather than opening a serial device. It's run like this: pppd .... script "ssh blah ..." The next howto will be based on the scripts that are available at: http://www.dragonsdawn.net/~gordon/vpn/ Save yourself some trouble and use them. :) -- If I had a dollar for every brain that you don't have, I'd have one dollar. - Squidward to SpongeBob _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
