Re: pppd daemon dies
I don't know minicom at all. I've never used it. I have been thinking that I'm an idiot lately since I can't resolve this problem. I don't think it has anything to do with my isp or I wouldn't be able to connect with SuSE 8.1 (yuck) Win ME, and tonight I installed slackware 9.0 just 15 minutes ago, probably to prove I have some brain cells left, and I plugged in my info and here I am using slack and on the internet. I'm not looking for flame. I just don't know what more to do with kppp or pppconfigure; /etc/ppp/options-pap-secerets chap. I have looked at and edited more files read more man pages..yadda yadda.

Hi!

It is expected to be standard in # future releases of pppd. Use the call option (see manpage) to disable # authentication for specific peers. auth So probably changing it to 'noauth' would work, but is, I assume, not approved.

(I just did a complete reinstall of Woody, for various reasons). Curiously though, /etc/ppp/options still has 'auth' in it, while /etc/ppp/peers/provider has 'noauth' (and already did, I think, even when I was having that 'drop-out' problem mentioned above). I don't know how the two inter-relate, but evidently what I did in Kppp has changed something else somewhere.I was intending to ask for some clarification on this list. Other question - what's the 'proper' way to give a user (me) access to ppp? I can think of a couple of ways that might work but I might as well do it the 'proper' way. I don't need high security (being the only user) but I'm sure I shouldn't be posting as root;) cr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
