Yesterday I was thinking about pap-secrets files containing wildcard
clients with a blank password, but on closer reading I understood that
was not the problem. Today I am reminded of a curious thing from my
server, which might not be related, but also might be.
My dialin ppp server is using ppp-2.3.0f on Red Hat 4.2, with PAM
authentication taken from the 2.3.5's pppd. I don't believe my problem
is with PAM authentication. My problem is that there were two sessions,
both started with "+pap login", which had not in fact logged in. Logs
show "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests". They also show that the
client neither accepted nor rejected pap authentication, and did not
login. I notice there have been more than a few sessions which have
this pattern in the logs.
Has anybody heard about it?
