    Good day List,

    I have a question about pppd. We use ppp over ssh for a VPN solution into
    work. The script works on linux, but not in freebsd because the
    implementation of pppd that comes with freebsd does not recognize the pty
    command. When I attempt to connect up I get the following.

    testee# bash bin/vpn.init start
    Waiting for connection...
    Using interface ppp0
    /usr/sbin/pppd: In file /usr/home/rob/vpn/options.vpn: unrecognized option
    'pty'
    Connection Failed

    This appears to be the last piece of the puzzle for me in order to get this to
    work. So it leaves me to ask Is there an equivalent in Freebsd?

    From the pppd man page on a linux machine.

           pty script
                  Specifies that the command script is to be used to communicate
    rather than a specific terminal device. Pppd will allocate itself a
    pseudo-tty master/slave pair and use the slave as its terminal device. The
    script will be run in a child process with the pseudo-tty master as
    its standard input and output. An explicit device name may not be
    given if this option is used. (Note: if the record option is used in
    conjuction with the pty option, the child process will have pipes on its
    standard input and output.)

    The fbsd pppd's man page doesn't list anything for pty, and a google doesn't
    turn up much.

    Thanks for your time.

    Rob
