ok, i enabled debugging.
in /var/log/messages i have the following entry when i start isdnutils:
Nov 3 15:14:33 ranger ipppd: info: no PAP secret entry for this user!
my pap-secrets file looks like this (i backupped the old one, cause i found
it too complicated, btw, is "i found it too complicated" a valid english
sentence?):
"000124325234#543235436524#0001" * 23425432
of course i changed the values.
in ipppd.ippp0 i changed only a value in the auth section:
# AUTHENTICATION
name "000124325234#543235436524#0001" # set local name for auth XXX_
#user X # set name for auth with peer; default is value for
name #usehostname # use hostname for auth
#remotename X # set remote name for auth
#noauth # (dont) require peer (the other) to auth
#require-pap # allow only pap authentication (dialin only)
#require-chap # allow only chap authentication (dialin only)
#login # use system password database for pap
#papcrypt # pap passwords are encrypted
any ideas what's going wrong?
