Hello all,
I have been using diald-0.16.5-201 on RedHat 5.1 with PPP 2.3.5
quite successfully with an ISP that used the standard login/
password entry. Now I'm using AT&T that doesn't allow that
method, only CHAP (not PAP). What I need to know is if there is
any way to force PPP to use CHAP before PAP. I have the correct
information in the secrets files (and I have tried having both
pap-secrets and chap-secrets in the directory, and also just
chap-secrets. The following two traces are from these two cases.
The first shows what happens if I only have the chap-secrets
file, while the second one shows what happens if I also have the
pap-secrets file there. Neither one works, but if the pap-secrets
file is not there, it just quits, and if it is there, ppp seems
to try pap first, and then the remote site disconnects.
Is there any option I can use that forces ppp to try chap first,
or is that what I really need here? I can't seem to find ppp
options that will help this. This works with Windows dial-up
networking, and that's all that AT&T will support -- they
refuse to give me any answers for Linux (read: any questions
about what ppp on their end wants).
By the way, the exact same thing happens if I set up a proper
options file in /etc/ppp and use minicom to start the connection
and start pppd manually, so I don't think that diald is at fault
here.
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Thanks.
