Bob:
My /etc/ppp/options also contains the following options:
+pap
-chap
Which requires the peer to use PAP and prevents it from using CHAP
to authenticate. I don't know how pppd handles defaults when these
options aren't present. Adding the "debug" option in the options file
will cause authentication information to be logged to /var/log/ppp.log,
which can help in troubleshooting.

Good evening all... I'm trying to set up a friend's slink box do allow a
dial-up ppp login. pppd doesnt' want to cooperate. I'm going nuts
to figure what I overlooked.
I'm trying to use mgetty's AutoPPP feature. I have the AutoPPP line
uncommented in /etc/mgetty/login.config. I can log in, but ppp won't start.
It complains:
/usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I
/usr/sbin/pppd: couldn't find any secret (password) which would let it use an
IP address.
If I comment out the /AutoPPP/ line in /etc/mgetty/login.config, I can log
as that user but ppp isn't running.
Here are the relevant config files:
/etc/ppp/options (owned: root.root permissions: 644)
----------------
asyncmap 0
netmask 255.255.255.0
proxyarp
idle 300
mru 1500
auth <---I've tried both with and without this line
/etc/ppp/options.ttyS1 (owned: root.root permissions: 644)
----------------------
192.168.128.1:192.168.128.17
/etc/pap-secrets (owned: root.root permissions: 600) (editted slightly)
----------------
# INBOUND connections
# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd
#* molec3 "" *
rich molec3 "" * <--the only user allowed to run ppp
# UserIDs that cannot use PPP at all. Check your /etc/passwd and add any
# other accounts that should not be able to use pppd!
guest molec3 "*" -
master molec3 "*" -
root molec3 "*" -
support molec3 "*" -
stats molec3 "*" -
^^^^^^
Is this column supposed to be the local machine name? I can't find it
documented anywhere.
I heard that sometimes AutoPPP doesn't work right and if you remove the
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets file altogether, it works. I tried doing that. ppp
continues complaining about not finding any secret (password).
Does someone see what I am overlooking? Thanks for the help.
