PPP + PAP with Debian
Hi,
I was wondering if somebody was using PAP and/or CHAP to connect to a ppp
server using debian. I struggled with it for a week to no avail. I finally
installed RedHat's ppp package using alien and it worked as advertised. I ended
up installing debian's ppp back but substituing pppd for the version in
RedHat. I assume therefore, this has to do with the changes made to pppd by
debian. I noticed the problem arises in the authentication. The +ua option,
which is kept for backward compatibility in pppd is completely disabled. This
happened with the current(i2.2.0f-23) version of the ppp package as well as for that in Debian-1.2.5 (19, I think but could be mistaken).
Thanks,
Luis.
