pap-secrets

[Harold Hallikainen]

I'll continue to search the web, but can anyone give guidance on
pap-secrets? Ideally, I'd like pppd to authenticate through /etc/passwd .

My mgetty+sendfax login.config has this line:
/AutoPPP/ -     a_ppp   /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap -pap login debug


Here's stuff from /var/log/messages

Dec 17 20:23:44 sujan pppd[3194]: pppd 2.4.2 started by a_ppp, uid 0 Dec
17 20:23:44 sujan pppd[3194]: Using interface ppp0
Dec 17 20:23:44 sujan pppd[3194]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
Dec 17 20:23:48 sujan pppd[3194]: PAP peer authentication failed for louise
Dec 17 20:23:49 sujan pppd[3194]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Dec 17 20:23:49 sujan pppd[3194]: Modem hangup
Dec 17 20:23:49 sujan pppd[3194]: Connection terminated.
Dec 17 20:23:49 sujan pppd[3194]: Exit.

Below is pap-secrets. With my reading so far, I don't really know what to
put in there. I'll read some more, but any guidance would be appreciated!
I'm trying to set this up so I can log in to the server and then access it
and the internet (the server is on a DSL).

# Secrets for authentication using PAP
