Hi,
Whenever users dial into my machine I an error telling me that pap
authentification failed. Looking at the packets sent to my linux
box, the user name and the password are sent.
The login is started with auto ppp detection in mgetty. I am running
shadow passwords and have compiled pppd with this option.
Below are some more details.
Thanks for any help

pap-secrets file
===========
The pap-secrets file is as follows (anyuser is the login of a user
defined on the system). As far as I can tell, the "" tells the system to
use the shadow password file.
anyuser * ""
hosts file
======
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
192.168.1.1 mypc.home.wollongong mypc
192.168.1.2 lc630.home.wollongong lc630
192.168.1.3 ppp01.home.wollongong ppp01
192.186.1.4 ppp02.home.wollongong ppp02
mgetty stuff
========
I am actually calling pppd from mgetty (which in turn is started from
hylafax). The line that detects autoppp in my login.config file for
mgetty is as follows.
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth login kdebug 7 +pap debug
-detach modem crtscts proxyarp lock mypc:ppp01 asyncmap 0
All these parameters are being set properly as the mgetty log shows:
pppd auth login kdebug 7 +pap debug -detach modem crtscts proxyarp lock
mypc:ppp01 asyncmap 0
other stuff
=======
I do not have a dns server on my machine, but sometimes connect to my
university with my linux box, and would therefore like my dial-in ppp
service to allow me to connect to the internet if I remotely connect to my
linux box.
