I'm trying to configure my SPARCclassic with RH 5.1 as a small access
server.
I'm using mgetty and pppd.
But I have to use login/password authentication and pppd run as user's
shell
which I don't like very much...
I cannot use AutoPPP because pppd auhentication doesn't work.
I tried with another linux calling and using pap authentication I got
the following:

Here are the relevant parts of my configuration.

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets:

I also tried with this line in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets:
user * "password"
but pppd continues to complain:

I tried to add the login option in
/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config with this
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets:
# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client server secret IP addresses
* * ""
but I get

and without /etc/ppp/pap-secrets I get
