Changing the Login Id and Password

The login id and login password are used for the login sequence at the remote host. This sequence and the restrictions it imposes on the login dialog is operating system dependent.

If the remote host is running a Solaris environment, the login id must be all lowercase, and between 1 and 8 characters in length. The login password can contain both uppercase and lowercase characters, and must be equal to, or greater than, 6 characters in length; however, only the first 6 characters are significant.

To accept the call, there must be a user account with this login id and password on the remote host. If the remote host is running Solstice PPP the login id must also appear as the value of the expect_login_id parameter for one of the dialup paths in the file ppp.conf.

Edit the default CHAT script to replace the login id and the login password with the strings expected by the remote host. For example, the following CHAT script is used to establish a link with a login id mylogin and login password mypasswd.

# Chat script for ppp login
#
# Set the line regarding the remote site configuration
# Due to UUCP limitations some systems only accept cs7
# setline 	cs7 parodd
 
# Start dialog with the remote host
send    	RETURN
 
# Set expected response, retry 3 times at 10 second intervals
expect  	"ogin:"  10  onerror send BREAK repeat 3
 
# Set login id (mylogin) sent to remote host
send    	"mylogin"
 
# Set response expected from remote host, wait up to 40 seconds
expect  	"word: " 40
#
# Set the login password (my passwd) of the remote host
send	    "mypasswd"
