Thank you very much. That is ok now.

I have tried to restart the server after login in my
/etc/ppp/ppplogin file. It looks like this


-----------------
#!/bin/sh
# ppplogin - script to fire up pppd on login
mesg n
stty -echo
/usr/sbin/pppd silent auth -chap +pap login
exec ndc restart
----------------------

this does not get named to listen to the port.
Have you any suggestions how to get named up
at the time a user login ?

Good eyes !
I have just wired the net and put in the lancards
configuring that will be my next task,
The most important thing at this moment is to get my DNS to listen to
the ppp line at the time of login.

Any help on that will be very welcome.


Thanks
Jacob.
