Luis, Here's an idea: Create a script that waits 5 or 10 seconds, then runs /etc/init.d/ppp start, or whatever you use. Then add a new user and specify that script for its shell. Make sure the script is setuid root. You might want to make the script logout, too, after it runs pppd. Hopefully, since the script waits 5 seconds, you won't have any COM port locking problems. Hope this helps! -- Stephen Pitts pitts2@memphisonline.com Proudly running Debian GNU/Linux 1.1 on an Intel Pentium 150 Send a message with "Send PGP Key" in the subject to get my PGP key.
