Thanks for the tip. I am HAVING to use red hat for a while and have
been trying to set up a simple dialin ppp account.. no diald yet. I
have been getting these same type of error messages. "pppd can find no
secret". I knew this had to do with pap and chap which I don't use. I
will boot into RH and set this option..
I think it has nothing to do with The kernel, because I Have SuSE with
2.2.12 and TurboLinux with 2.2.11 and they both function perfectly
without that option as far as I can see..
Ok, Turbo's ppp is 2.3.7-1 and Suse is 2.3.8-14 so I don't know about
that assumption either. Something is definitly broken though.
Hopefully this will work. It is very hard to configure diald If ppp
doesn't work..
