I think it has to do with the 'auth' option in the /etc/ppp/options file.You can test by changing the line to 'noauth'. # Require the peer to authenticate itself before allowing network # packets to be sent or received. # Please do not disable this setting. It is expected to be standard in # future releases of pppd. Use the call option (see manpage) to disable # authentication for specific peers. auth -- Greg C. Madden Debian GNU/Linux
