Hi all, Whenever I try to establish a ppp connection either automatically or manually on 5.4R, I get "warning: auth_Readname: Name too lomg (112) !"
It looks something like this (obvously I replaced the username, but it's exactly 6 characters long before the @): ppp>set device PPPoE:sis0 ppp>set authname [EMAIL PROTECTED] ppp>set authkey xxxxxx ppp>dial ppp> Ppp> Warning: auth_ReadName: Name too long (112) !". If I use auto mode, then the warning just appears in the logs and also in pppctl.. It seems that anything ending in "bmts.com" causes the error, because if I shorten the name before the "@" (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]), it stills gives the warning, but if I shorten it after the "@" (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]), the warning doesn't occur. I googled it and found just one single post from someone with the same problem as me, and no replies.. (Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) I tried the comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc newsgroup, but no luck there either..
