Bug#324867: KPPP should direct user to /usr/share/doc/kppp/README.Debian
Package: kppp
Version: 4:3.3.2-6
Severity: wishlist
In the default configuration of both kppp and pppd, kppp will fail with the
following mysterious output:
Aug 24 09:17:06 localhost pppd[10347]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
Aug 24 09:17:06 localhost pppd[10347]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
Aug 24 09:17:06 localhost pppd[10347]: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)
In the lower pane of the window titled "kppp's diagnosis (just guessing):"
it says, "Unable to provide help". At the very least, it would be
useful for kppp to direct the user to /usr/share/doc/kppp/README.Debian
for an explanation of the (likely) problem.
