With respect to all users on this list!
Having tried for a week without success, I am trying to get help
from the experts here on this list.
I have two Pentium III based PCs running Red Hat Linux 62.
One of them (say office.uvm.edu) is in my office which is connected
to the internet. The other (say localhost.localdomain) is a stand alone
machine at my home. Both machines have modems so that I can dial into
office.uvm.edu from localhost.localdomain using mgetty running on
office.uvm.edu.
I used linuxconf to create a ppp acount on office.uvm.edu, with
user name myppp. However, my ppp connection seems to be running into
difficulties with PAP authentication. Kppp does not leave with me too
much useful message. The following message was returned when I was
trying to login into the ppp acount.
>Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)
>Kernel 2.2.14-5.0 on an i686
>login: myppp
>Password:
>Last login: Wed Jun 21 16:15:10 on ttyS0
>/usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
>/usr/sbin/pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to us.
>Connection closed by foreign host
I have tried many combinations of the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and
/etc/ppp/options files on both machines and could not find a working
combination. I am quite sure that my /etc/resolv.conf is correct
because I have no problem dialing into an ISP account. When I tested
with my own ppp acount, I changed the domain and nameserver in the
file /etc/resolv.conf.
Will someone send me a sample or a pointer on the internet where
I can find a sample? Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Guoliang Xue
