I have absolutely no idea why, but my slink boxes with ppp-pam installed require an extra field in pap-secrets for dial-in PPP to work, like so: rich molec3 "" * * If you still have problems after changing "molec3" to your hostname, try that. To any PPP experts out there who know what I'm talking about, please tell me what this extra field signifies so I can sleep at night...
