Jacques,
I had the same problem over the weekend whenever I
upgraded from RedHat6.0 to RedHat6.1 (a newer PPPD).
Here is what I did to get things to work:
1. To both your PAP and CHAP Secrets Files add your UserName
Password. Within the Secretes Files use * as the Device (Server).
For some reason, the Login will not succeed if your specify the
exact Server Device (Bug ????). Here an example:
username * password address
The address is optional.
2. To your /etc/ppp/options file add the "noauth".
3. To your diald.conf file, make sure you have a ppd options
line specifying the Username to use.
pppd-options name UserName
These steps should get you working.
Here is an example diald.conf:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# diald.conf by Jeff Hawkins
#
#
# Use the filter file that comes with diald. This can be a bit drastic,
# so use the filter below
# include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter
# or use the filter that brings the link up for use on a line shared with
# a phone
include /etc/diald/phone.filter
device /dev/modem
speed 115200
lock
mode ppp
dynamic
local 127.0.0.2
remote 127.0.0.3
pppd-options name MSN/JohnDoe
# Delay sending packets for 5 seconds after PPP device opens -
# this allows routes to be established back to the appropriate dialup
# server.
#up-delay 5 - "UP-DELAY DOESN'T WORK WITH 99.x DIALD
defaultroute
modem
crtscts
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0
redial-timeout 10
fifo /etc/diald/diald.ctl
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe Sunday a Lazarus Long sent a detailed procedure for
configuring DIALD for various sophisticaed Configurations. I am
not currently on the System I read it on. I will send it whenver I get
back on the System at home. Or I guess you could request
Lazarus to retransmit it. Myself, I stayed with what I was able
to get working, and if is sufficient for my home ISP gateway.
