Unfortunately, no, but we're getting closer. Are you talking about PPP negotiation or about separate invocations of pppd? If it's separate invocations of pppd, then you can certainly wrap pppd with a script that checks the exit code (make sure you use the "updetach" option so you get something sensible), and use the exit code to determine what to do next. See the man page for details. If you're talking about the individual PPP negotiation messages that a single pppd invocation sends to its peer (i.e., you want to send PAP Authenticate-Request using user "joe" the first two times and then "bob" the next two times), then you'll need to modify the source to do as you're asking. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to modify. -- 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
