Problems getting dial-up script to work

[Scott A. Boyce]

I am using the following script to login to our SCO 5.0.5 server
through a PPP connection:

proc main

transmit "^M"
waitfor "ogin:"
if $SUCCESS then
transmit $USERID
transmit "^M"
waitfor "ssword:"
if $SUCCESS then
transmit $PASSWORD
transmit "^M"
endif
endif

endproc

The problem I am having is when "Login:" appears, nothing happens. If
I manually type in the login name and hit <enter> the window closes
and I login just fine, so it seems to me that the script is sending
the password just fine. Any ideas on why it won't do the same for the
login name? As always, the help is appreciated.

I would recommend that you use the gettyacts file then you don't need to
use a login script. Are you dialing in from Windows?

[Stuart J. Browne]

I agree with chad here, you should use gettyacts. here's a cutout from
another post...

- add specific user names and passwords in /etc/pppauth such as
(and also specify those in your Windoze DUN connect screen):
kenwolff pppking

- create /etc/gettyacts with (ownership bin,group bin,modes 440):
PPP:/usr/lib/ppp/ppp:-u nppp:0x7e

- change your modem getty line in /etc/inittab (also
/etc/conf/init.d/<file>) and add "-s80" (that's 80 tenths of a second or
8 seconds - the man pages incorrectly say it is seconds):
Se2A:234:respawn:/etc/getty -s80 -t60 tty2A p

umm, as for the script (just for the record), the IF $SUCCESS's arn't
needed.. ie.

proc main
transmit "^M"
waitfor "ogin:"

transmit $USERID, raw
transmit "^M"
waitfor "ssword"
transmit $PASSWORD, raw
transmit "^M"
endproc

but yes.
