I recently installed pppd 2.3.5 from a Debian package. I kept the old ppp up/chatscript etc files, and when running pppd to connect to my ISP I get the error message "peer refused to authenticate" and the modem disconnects. The debug output is below.
The ppp up and chatscript files are configured to require pap authentication only, pap-secrets contains one line, "username * password", and the user parameter is used when running pppd. It worked fine before I installed pppd 2.3.5. I'm running Debian 1.3.1r6 upgraded to kernel 2.0.33 and libc6.
