These fields may be followed by a list of the IP addresses that the specified client may use when connecting to the specified server." (note: AUTHENTICATION section of the manpage) Not having the fourth field, the IP address, in the file will cause all PAP authentication attempts to fail. Having the fourth field causes PAP auth to work as expected. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Mention the fourth (IP) field is mandatory, in the manpage; alternatively, have pppd accept auth even if the 4th field is not present. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
