Hi,

I'm simulating a special router that is normally connected via PPP
(null modem) to a Solaris 2.6 x86 machine.  The other connections on
this router are data radios.  Basically this router is offering the
Solaris box its services (access to radios).  Normally this router is
configured to use CHAP to have the client (Solaris box) authenticate
itself and the client is configured to provide the name and password.
(As a side note, I can't touch the Solaris box's software what so ever.)

My question is if I'm simulating this special router with a Linux machine,
and I DO NOT want to request that the client (Solaris) authenticate
itself, is it sufficient to just use the refuse-chap option when I invoke
pppd?

This is what I'm running on the Linux side right now:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 38400 -detach defaultroute passive persist \
refuse-chap refuse-pap

I'm using stock Red Hat 6.0 with pppd 2.3.7.  If this seemed confusing,
basically I want to not have Linux enable CHAP so that the Solaris
will not try to authenticate itself.  Almost like a "don't ask, don't
tell" situation.

Thanks,
Tuan
