Hello all. I've run into a bit of a vexing problem. My ISP has opened up access outside of its normal coverage area into an are I travel frequently. However, they told me that instead of my normal userid, I'm to login to the remote system with my email address as my login. The trouble is that pppd seems to barf on it.
I've tried the login using my normal ID into the remote site and pap authentication is negotiated, but fails due to the incorrect userid. When I put the email address into the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file, pppd refuses to negotiate pap authentication, sending naks to the host after each pap authentication request. I'm suspecting the @ in the email address as that tells pppd to look for passwords in the filename following @. I read the FM and all I found were the normal escapes, \ and quoting the string with "". All have failed.
