According to above, peer wants to authenticate you using chap, eap,
ms-chap and pap, but every time you refuse him. There could be two
reasons: whether you explicitly refuse to authenticate by using refuse-chap,
refuse-pap pppd options, whether pppd cannot get secret from the
{chap,pap}-secrets files. Make sure that in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets you
have line like:
"username" * password
and use pppd's option "name" to explicitly indicate username you want to
use for the authentication.
Good luck!
