I looked at the pppd.chat.log as well as the pppd.debug.log and the only
entries in either (I killed the files and restarted everything) was the
mention of a previous problem I have been having, the error message
'modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-6'
the format I have in my pap-secrets file is similar to this hypothetical user
* "bsomes" "password" *
Now a question, I also connect to my isp (who actually runs mgetty-1.1.19
along with pppd-2.3.4 ontop of linux 2.0.36 the same as I) dialing out on
ttyS0.
I have ttyS1 and ttyS2 monitor the lines. I use pap to auth on my isp's
system.
Can I use the same pap-secrets file to authenticate my dial-ins? Is mgetty
suppose to pass the user as AUTOPPP? Someone please help.
