Hi John,
Double check the error message. I strongly suspect it is expecting to find
the secret to authenticate the ISP to your machine in the secrets file (not
your secret to authenticate yourself to the ISP). In most cases the ISP
will not authenticate to you (it shouldn't have to since you are calling
it). This is triggered because you have an existing default route in place
at the time the outgoing connection is made. So you probably won't see it
when you dialout without using diald (unless you add a default route just to
test).
This is a change in the way ppp 2.3.9+ operates (you'd see the same problem
on the SuSE box if you upgraded there). When you have time to kill read the
rather lengthy pppd man page for full details.
For now add 'noauth' to your pppd-options and all should work properly.
