Bug#292634: Missing srp support

[TJ]

Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.2+20040428-6

My ISP has switched from chap to EAP.
To set EAP up, ppp's srp-entry untility is required.
pppd's man page referes to it, but it is missing from the package.

I got ppp source and found it to be there, please can you included it
in the package.

FYI and anyone else googling this...

To compile srp-entry you will need to package/build srp from:
http://srp.stanford.edu/download.html
(use a pre v2, or srp-entry will segfault, i used 1.7.5)

and edit SRCDIR/pppd/Makefile to uncomment USE_SRP=y

build it.

Now you can create entries in /etc/ppp/srp-secrets for EAP auth.

Thank you
Thorben

Debian lacks srp packages, so SRP support will not be enabled in pppd, at
least in the short term. I also have doubts about adding new library
dependancies to pppd to support a seldomly used protocol.
Please check if your ISP supports CHAP-style EAP authentication.
