Hi,
I have a really wierd thing happening ........
When I get a new dial-up user . I always put there username in the
pap-secrets file. Like this ....
rwcanary * "" *
Now, notice the last star "*" with out this star a dialin user will
always fail the PAP Authentication. The last column tells PAP if/what
an IP address is assigned. A star implies that any address is Okay.
If I 'm wrong here please jump in and correct me .....
The problem is this:
After creating the user (With Control Panel- User Config). I then go
to the pap secrets file and include the name with an entry as I
described above. I then try the dial-up account myself from a machine
here in the office. The account works fine. Within a random time
frame, I recieve a number of logon failures in my log files due to PAP
Authetication failure. When I check the pap-secrets file it has
changed back to a configuration that I had over two user ago. The
last user entered is completely gone and the "*" is removed from the
last column of the next user.
Can anyone explain this.
thanks in advance.
