- Hi...
-
- finally got the modem to answer the phone (hurray!!)
- and then I hit a problem with logging in on that dialin line
- (*sigh*)
-
- Someone suggested I needed the login program from the
- poeigl.tar.Z distribution, so I tried it...guess what...doesn't
- work. I'm presuming that that logi doesn't use shadow passwd's,
- whereas my system does...and I can't seem to find any flags in
- the include files that allow me to turn on shadow passwds :(
-
- Anyone have another idea as to how I can do this? It
- does answer, it does prompt for login: and for passwd: but that
- is as far as it gets :(
-
- Thanks...
-
- Marc
