Firstly unless your using TCPwrappers and pptpd in the inittab /etc/hosts.allow will do nothing..
Check your /var/log/messages for anything else, so far your posting just a couple of lines and we're probably missing an important piece.. can you send a whole pppd session logs to us? thanks, George Vieira Systems Manager Citadel Computer Systems P/L -----Original Message----- From: Doug Stalker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 11 December 2001 12:43 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; George Vieira Subject: RE: [SLUG] Pppd server won't authenticate Client is windows. Authentication should be chap - I have both 'auth' and 'require-chap' in /etc/ppp/pptpd-options I just tried adding noauth to /etc/ppp/pptpd-options and /etc/ppp/options, and including ALL:ALL in /etc/hosts.allow, and I still got the same error. /usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself /usr/sbin/pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so. /usr/sbin/pppd: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.) Is there something else I'm misisng here? The fact that noauth is being ignored suggests to me it is in the wrong place - where should I be placing sting for this? - Doug > -----Original Message----- > From: George Vieira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 12:22 PM > To: Doug Stalker; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: [SLUG] Pppd server won't authenticate > > > What's the client, a windows or linux machine? > > What type of authentication is your server requesting? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Doug Stalker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > I'm currently trying to get PoPToP working, ... > How can I get the server to accept the connections? > > Server: Debian Woody, 2.2.17 kernel > Client: Windows 98 using built in VPN > > - Doug > -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
