right, but the DEFAULT should be first, i'm pretty sure. it's first here
and things work fine.

note - if someone has a different setup, you have to put in the WHOLE
entry for them, not just what is different. and Password, Expiration and
Sessions all have to be on the first line. other than that, you can just
have one line per user. since 90% of our accounts are just dynamic PPP,
this cut our users file down from 75k to about 5k. makes it LOTS easier
to check someone's access plan at a quick glance.

nope.
