hi
everytime i try to get online i get "the pppd daemon died unexpectedly" with
the blow log file
Feb 21 22:22:18 localhost pppd[943]: By default the remote system is
required to authenticate itself
Feb 21 22:22:18 localhost pppd[943]: (because this system has a default
route to the internet)
Feb 21 22:22:18 localhost pppd[943]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret
(password) for it to use to do so.
Feb 21 22:22:18 localhost pppd[943]: (None of the available passwords would
let it use an IP address.)
if i then try to dial up as root i get the same problem with a different
debug log
Feb 22 14:19:22 localhost pppd[3854]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
Feb 22 14:19:22 localhost pppd[3854]: Using interface ppp0
Feb 22 14:19:22 localhost pppd[3854]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
Feb 22 14:19:25 localhost pppd[3854]: Peer is not authorized to use remote
address 212.161.112.68
Feb 22 14:19:26 localhost pppd[3854]: Connection terminated.
Feb 22 14:19:26 localhost pppd[3854]: Connect time 0.1 minutes.
Feb 22 14:19:26 localhost pppd[3854]: Sent 311 bytes, received 295 bytes.
Feb 22 14:19:26 localhost pppd[3854]: Exit.
in both cases it dials up and handshakes ok but fails at the last bit,
i dont know if this is important or not but i have been trying to get a lan
setup between this and my own pc
using the network configuration tool in drakconf....
thankz
