I'm trying to configure pppd for dial-out to work, which requires CHAP
authentication. Unfortunately, I can't seem to make the @#$%! machines
happy. I've gone through the HOWTO and everything *seems* to be
configured properly, but obviously something's not right. Anyone care
to point out what I've mangled here?
The peers file looks like this:
connect "/usr/bin/expect -f /etc/chatscripts/work"
defaultroute noipdefault /dev/modem 115200 -proxyarp noauth
idle 1800 user snidely remotename REMOTEHOST debug
The chap-secrets file, in it's current incarnation, looks approximately
like:
snidely REMOTEHOST "<password>"
REMOTEHOST snidely "<password>"
The log entries from pppd are (with slight formatting):
