Hi,
I think a lot of people will be interested if somebody can post the script he/she is using for authentication in case of a dial up connection (along with instructions on how to modify it, of course).
Philip had mentioned that he knew of an easier way. Philip, do let us know...
Thanks.

I've posted my scripts any number of times. People should check the archives before asking the same questions.

For the love of St. Ignucius, when was the last time that people actually visited the directory called /usr/doc or /usr/share/doc? pppd by itself has such powerful ways of dialing up an internet link using chat scripts and files under /etc/pppd/ (or something similar) ...
The pppd documentation itself and the PPP-Howto itself provide such excellent sample scripts, that Windoze style utils such as kppp, wvdial pale in front of the functions possible using pppd itself.
People should read these things and the manpages to figure out things like "peers" and "call" thingies that pppd uses. Once setup correctly, all you havet to do is say "pppd call isp-name" then sit back and simply start using the net. Then you can think of a lot of wizardry like if-up and if-down scripts. And "correctly setup" simply means copying the sample scripts to the correct location and hack them up for your own use!
Read The F Manual, I say!!!!!! Puhlease!!!!

Thank you Sameer. Here are some rules that people should follow before posting a question on the lug:
1. Look in /usr/doc or /usr/share/doc to see if there is relevant documentation for your problem. grep is your friend here. 2. Look for a relevant man page. 3. Look for a relevant HOWTO document 4. Search the mailing list archives (google can do this for you). 5. Search other mailing list archives (google can do this too). 6. If you find the info - post your results here so that it will help others If you do not, post your question here 7. Even after posting, try and figure out other ways to solve it. Look at program sources if necessary. grep for relevant error messages. Finding the actual line number where the error took place can help the developer find the problem. 8. Make sure you have the latest versions of all software relevant.
And for those who answer questions, I'd suggest you point people to the relevant documentation instead of simply spoonfeeding.
We are not microsoft, we do not want people to be permanently reliant on us for solutions. We want everyone to be self sufficient.
Hi, I am a complete newbie as far as networking and system admin part of Linux is concerned. After reading fair amount of share of the melee going on the list I have some things to say:
1) I perfectly agree upon that people should look at the previous posting before asking question. The reminder letter I get every month/initial welcome letter I got, nowhere there was a mention of URL of previous listings. I actually searched for that.
2) People have said "don't spoonfeed. Let them go to docs and google and then come to us." If I have so much time to refer to docs, google and what not, why cannot I do it myself? Why do I need any list to subscribe to?? I view this list as some what of ready-reckner. Please note that I don't justify posting every trivial doubt on list or justify not viewing the history.
Jai Ho Maiyan Ki, Aditya N.

Workflow can be implemented in several applications. I have used workflow on Zee Object Publishig System ZOPE. Particularly in squishdot and more configurable in CMF. See details on http://www.zope.org and cmf.zope.org. The client in this case is your web browser.
