I think the problem you are describing is a result of new behavior that
pppd has as of Redhat 6.1. (more information on this can be found in bug
#5601 at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla)
I found I had to pass "noauth" to pppd in order to get the old behavior
back. I was able to do that by setting an option in diald.conf.

Hi all,
I am admittedly new to diald and I am having quite a time getting things to
run smoothly....
<snip>
In the /var/log/messages log I get the messages as follows:
modprobe: can't find module char-major-108
pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I
pppd: could not find a suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.

PS: I am running Redhat 6.1 if that helps at all.
