Sorry to bother you yet again. Actually shadow passwords are not
enabled on the server. I added myself to pap-secrets by hand and it
still said pap authentication failed!
My pap-secrets file reads
# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd
* yodeller ""
hamish yodeller "password"
# UserIDs that cannot use PPP at all. Check your /etc/passwd and add any
# other accounts that should not be able to use pppd!
guest yodeller "*" -
master yodeller "*" -
root yodeller "*" -
support yodeller "*" -
stats yodeller "*" -
# OUTBOUND connections
# Here you should add your userid password to connect to your providers via
# pap. The * means that the password is to be used for ANY host you connect
# to. Thus you do not have to worry about the foreign machine name. Just
# replace password with your password.
# If you have different providers with different passwords then you better
# remove the following line.
yodeller * password
It seems to open and read the pap-secrets file ok (I ran it with strace
as you suggested) but still does not work.
