It is: /etc/ppp/auth-down not: /etc/ppp/Auth-down Case ('a' versus 'A') is crucial. Did you make the file executable and owned by root? Do you have debug logs from your pppd session? How was pppd configured? Note that these scripts run only when pppd is configured as an authenticator ("server"), and not when it's only the authenticatee ("client"). -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
