ppp PAP question
I have 2 machines (well, 1 machine 1 isp). I'd like to use PAP between them. in pap-secrets I have: wakko lwts... wakko bristol ... lwts is my computer at work bristol is the name I received from my ISP. Doesn't matter how I invoke pppd, the results are the same. It will always use the first line (I'm using the default pap-secrets file. the only mods were removing the entry at the end and replacing it with the 2 above). The line I used to invoke pppd: pppd connect 'chat atdt### CONNECT' user wakko /dev/modem 115200 I see no other way to get pppd to send the correct user name. Obviously, I'm not going to use my machine name and I'm not going to have my machine name as my ISP login name. It seems that it can't get the remote host name or something... I don't fully (or half way) understand PAP. Any ideas? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't fully (or half way) understand PAP. man pppd says: remotename name Set the assumed name of the remote system for authentication purposes to name. So: a the pap-secrets line should look like: wakko myisp secretpassword username on remote system = wakko password for remote system = secretpassword remote-id of remote system (arbitrary) = myisp and you have to add remotename myisp to your pppd line.
