Question


Hi!

My ISP requires me to use a special password-generator called SafeWord to connect to th Internet. It works like this, when I enter my pin-code it gives me a password to go to my username, this password is valid for a few minutes.

How would I do to make Linux ask me for a new password each time I try to connect. Now I need to change it with Linuxconf everytime.

Do you use a graphical distribution? I know that both gnome and kde have there own dial-up programs. With these you can specify the username, and enter a password. All you need to do is supply the dialers with the telephone number, and username, and then you can change the password each time you dial out, which is what I assume you need to do. If not try and add as much info as possible.
