If you still have problems after changing molec3 to your hostname,
try that.
hmm... That's odd. I'll give it a try and see what happens.
To any PPP experts out there who know what I'm talking about,
please tell me what this extra field signifies so I can sleep

Indeed. Inquirer minds want to know. :-)

Yes, it is. It does seem to be very poorly documented. I think once
you fix that, you'll be in business.
Okay, that makes sense. I tried it. Something still is right yet. pppd on
the remote machine is still complaining about not finding any secret
(password).
Maybe I'm not starting ppp on my end correctly? I'm using diald. In
diald's connect script, I have it starting up ppp immediately after it
goes through it's login/password passing. Or should I have ppp start up
as soon as the connect script gets the CONNECT from the modem and let
mgetty AutoPP deal with the login/password? If I do it that way, is
mgetty smart enough to continue with the usual login/password prompts
if it doesn't detect ppp running on the caller?

My advice is to kill it off or deinstall it entirely, until you get the dialins working properly. If you do want to use it after the dialins work, be sure to use the proper lock options for both diald and mgetty, so they won't try to use the serial port at the same time.

Re: Help! mgetty ppp won't play together
Bob:
My /etc/ppp/options also contains the following options:
+pap
-chap
Which requires the peer to use PAP and prevents it from using CHAP
to authenticate. I don't know how pppd handles defaults when these
options aren't present. Adding the debug option in the options file
will cause authentication information to be logged to /var/log/ppp.log,
which can help in troubleshooting.

Good evening all... I'm trying to set up a friend's slink box do allow a
dial-up ppp login. pppd doesnt' want to cooperate. I'm going nuts
to figure what I overlooked.
I'm trying to use mgetty's AutoPPP feature. I have the AutoPPP line
uncommented in /etc/mgetty/login.config. I can log in, but ppp won't start.
It complains:
/usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I
/usr/sbin/pppd: couldn't find any secret (password) which would let it use an
IP address.
If I comment out the /AutoPPP/ line in /etc/mgetty/login.config, I can log
as that user but ppp isn't running.
Here are the relevant config files:
/etc/ppp/options (owned: root.root permissions: 644)
asyncmap 0
netmask 255.255.255.0
proxyarp
idle 300
mru 1500
auth ---I've tried both with and without this line
/etc/ppp/options.ttyS1 (owned: root.root permissions: 644)
--
192.168.128.1:192.168.128.17
/etc/pap-secrets (owned: root.root permissions: 600) (editted slightly)
# INBOUND connections
# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd
#* molec3*
richmolec3*--the only user allowed to run ppp
# UserIDs that cannot use PPP at all. Check your /etc/passwd and add any
# other accounts that should not be able to use pppd!

Does someone see what I am overlooking? Thanks for the help.
