I had this problem a few weeks ago. The default configuration doesn't take
into accout the authentication. Just look through the kppp options and find
the section where you can pass information to the pppd directly and add the
line "noauth" (without the quotes of course). This will tell the pppd not
to use any authentication for the remote server trying to "authenticate"
itself to you.

| Hello...
| I tried to connect to internet with kppp. And then, I get
| error message like
| this :
|
| "pppd daemon died unexpectedly"
| Details :
| pppd : By default the remote system is required to
| authenticate itself.
| pppd : (because this system has a default route to the internet).
| pppd : but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for
| it to use to
| do so.
| pppd : (none of the available passwords would let it use an
| IP address).
|
| I don't know what does it mean. Anyone can help me ?
| Thanks.
