-
- In AmiTCP:bin/ there is a file calles startnet. It decides which device to use
- to connect to the internet account, which user to login, host name, IP
- address, etc...
-
- Hopefully your email addresses are different on the two accounts. That will
- make this much easier.
-
- Copy startnet to startnet2. Now edit startnet2.
- 1) First, change the 0 after ppp.device to 1 - that allows you to make a
- different ppp setup.
- 2) The name after login will be for your first account. Change it to this new
- account.
- 3) Change all the ppp0 occurences to ppp1
- 4) On you ADD HOST line, change the full hostname to your new full hostname.
- 5) If you have setenv variables for things like newsservers and such, change
- them for your new server.
- I think that's all for startnet...now to ENVARC:SANA2/ppp0.config
-
- 1) copy ENVARC:SANA2/ppp0.config to ENVARC:SANA2/ppp1.config
- 2) edit ppp1.config
- 3) If any addresses are in that file, change them to the new server.
- 4) Change dialscript= to a new dialscript for this new account.
-
- Now create that dialscript just like you did the old one.
-
- Finally edit amitcp:bin/passwd - make a new entry for this new account:
-
- Username||100|100|Real Name|Workdir:|shell
-
- Replace Username with your username, replace Realname with your real name and
- replace Workdir: with your work directory.
-
- The only problem I see here is that the username with the first account needs
- to be different than the second account.
