This is NOT true in ppp, which is what you are doing.
But I cannot do reverse authentication and it can't too.
Why not? Just put require-eap into your ppp/options. and you will ask him for eap. NOw he may refuse, but that is up to him. YOu cannot force someone else to do something.
Yes. This isn't a problem. The problem is when I trust him, but we haven't shown driver licenses each other.
If you walk away because he does not show his license to you then you DO NOT trust him.
Eh ? :)
It may be a problem with English. I interpreted your sentence to be "the problem is, if I trust him, but we haven't shown...." You might be
saying " the problem is at what time do I trust him-- certainly not if we
have not shown driver ....."
Which did you mean? Do you trust him? If not ask to see his license. Do not stand there hinting that it would be nice if he volunarily showed you his license. And then walk away when he does not take the hint.
What prevents you from putting require-eap into your options file which will result in your eap asking him to authenticate himself to you and you to him with eap?
