Pppconfig creates /etc/chatscripts/provider and /etc/ppp/peers/provider
files using the information you give it. If you tell it to use PAP or CHAP
there won't be much in /etc/chatscripts/provider because there doesn't need
to be: pppd does the authentication using information that pppconfig puts
in the secrets files. If you tell pppconfig to use chat authentication it
will put the usename, password, etc in /etc/chatscripts/provider.
Delete your hacked-up /etc/chatscripts/provider and /etc/ppp/peers/provider
and run pppconfig again. You are making this harder than it needs to be.
If pppconfig won't work for you I would really like to know how it goes
wrong: I'm the author.
How did you get the idea that pppconfig had something to do with diald?
I don't mean to criticize you: I'd really like to know. If the
documentation is misleading I'll try to fix it.
