ok, i enabled debugging. in /var/log/messages i have the following entry when i start isdnutils: Nov 3 15:14:33 ranger ipppd: info: no PAP secret entry for this user! my pap-secrets file looks like this (i backupped the old one, cause i found it too complicated, btw, is "i found it too complicated" a valid english sentence?): "000124325234#543235436524#0001" * 23425432 of course i changed the values. in ipppd.ippp0 i changed only a value in the auth section: # AUTHENTICATION name "000124325234#543235436524#0001" # set local name for auth XXX_ #user X # set name for auth with peer; default is value for name #usehostname # use hostname for auth #remotename X # set remote name for auth #noauth # (dont) require peer (the other) to auth #require-pap # allow only pap authentication (dialin only) #require-chap # allow only chap authentication (dialin only) #login # use system password database for pap #papcrypt # pap passwords are encrypted any ideas what's going wrong? -------------------------------------------------------
