How to setup PPP??

Hi,

I am having a tough time setting up PPP services on bsdi 2.0.1
box connected to a PM2E. I have setup the serial ports on the PM
using the ISP setup example by Livingston so I think that
part should be ok(?).

To setup BSDI side, I read the Lizard book, all the ppp man
pages, edited /etc/ppp.sys (I added the local IP and remote
IP, passwd and login name entries in the sample file). I then
run config_ppp followed by config_dialin, which added one
line in the /etc/ppp.sys for the user Ptest1 and created the
user Ptest1 in the /etc/passwd file. And that's all I did.

Is this all I have to configure? Am I missing something/doing
anything wrong?

I then tried to connect to the PM and the bsdi box through
a PC (as the user Ptest1) using PPP and got Invalid Login message.

When I tried to su - Ptest1 from the bsdi box console directly
I got this message:

ppp: host "lzf" is unknown in /etc/ppp.sys

where lzf is my login id. What does this mean?

Your help is greatly appreciately!
