Hi, I am multibooting 4.6/amd64 with archlinux. I am able to get internet connection using pppoe in archlinux so I guess it is not a problem with username or password.
My Connection in OpenBSD shows as below. lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33152 priority: 0 groups: lo inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 vr0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:11:d8:01:23:45 priority: 0 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active inet6 fe80::211:d8ff:fe01:2345%vr0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 enc0: flags=0<> mtu 1536 priority: 0 pppoe0: flags=8851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1492 priority: 0 dev: vr0 state: session sid: 0x211 PADI retries: 0 PADR retries: 0 time: 00:00:05 sppp: phase terminate authproto pap authname "username" groups: pppoe egress inet6 fe80::211:d8ff:fe01:2345%pppoe0 -> prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 0.0.0.0 --> 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff pflog0: flags=141<UP,RUNNING,PROMISC> mtu 33152 priority: 0 groups: pflog where do I look to see why the phase was terminated as stated in sppp: phase terminate authproto pap authname "username" can get any info from /var/log/messages And also the system drops into the ddb prompt during boot if I leave the authkey field NULL ( '' ). Is that a bug or feature? thanks --Siju My Configuration is as follows. # cat /etc/hostname.pppoe0 inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 NONE \ pppoedev vr0 authproto pap \ authname 'username' authkey 'passwd' up dest 0.0.0.1 !/sbin/route add default -ifp pppoe0 0.0.0.1 #cat /etc/hostname.vr0 up the dmesg OpenBSD 4.6 (GENERIC) #53: Thu Jul 9 21:19:22 MDT 2009 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC real mem = 468385792 (446MB) avail mem = 441716736 (421MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.3 @ 0xf0730 (54 entries) bios0: vendor American Megatrends Inc. version "080012" date 06/19/2006 bios0: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
