Re: [PLUG] PPP Server Problems

[Kevin Brosius <kbrosius@kns.com>]

Oh, and with the auto ppp setting I had to add a user to the machine
doing the ppp dial-in.  I just did an 'adduser' and setup a user name
and password for them.

Oh, one thing that might matter, in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets the line:

# If you add "auth login -chap +pap" to
/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config,
# all users in /etc/passwd can use their password for
pap-authentication.
#
# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from
/etc/passwd
#*      hostname        ""
*       cobra   ""      "*"

(My machine name is 'cobra' in this case)

And I made sure to remove the remote user name from pap-secrets.  I
don't remember if having it there caused a problem or not, but I have it
commented out at the moment.
