Hey, there are 2 sceneraios here.
A) Your ISP is using MSCHAP80 only auth.
Get the source to ppp-2.2.0e and it thoroughly
descrbes the MS-Chap 80 procedure (a readme). It involves
getting this library (libdes) with the routines and recompiling
and changing the config a tad bit.
B) the format of MY working /etc/ppp/pap-secrets is
(and I dont have to use the chap80 deal)
your_username
your_password
not like the man page states
Then I specify +b /usr/ppp/pap-secrets on the pppd command
line (or actually in /etc/ppp/options). This works well
for those NT box's set to Clear Text pap authorization.
In either case, choice A would guarntee suscess (for the most part)
and itsnt really that complex at all.
Cheers
