Not Another AutoPPP question

Hi,

The master ppp site is:
ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp/

The latest version is: 2.3.5

Are you running RedHat 5.0, they did a bad port of pppd 2.3 to include PAM
which broke the utmp stuff.

This seems to have been fixed in Redhat 5.1, otherwise just compile pppd
from source.

hope this helps
