Hello,
Having a serious problem trying to get a freebsd box
configured as a dialin server using kernel pppd and 
mgetty, i am using one modem, (which by commenting out the
/etc/ttys mgetty line, allows me to dialout and run kernel
pppd -succesful data transfer for ppp0)-i know pppd works,
mgetty compiled with -DAUTO_PPP option, i can  dialin to the machine
-but am disconnected with 'PAP authorization failure for userxxx'
my files are:
/etc/ppp/options file:
asyncmap 0
netmask 255.255.255.0
lock
proxyarp
crtscts
modeem
login
/etc/pap-secrets file:
userxxx   *     " "
/etc/options.cuaa1 file:
192.168.1.1:192.168.1.2
from the man pppd pages PAP authentication should happen, 
but does not...i removed /etc/ppp/ppp.deny and /etc/ppp/ppp.shells
files to be certain...i still get
'PAP authorization failure for userxxx'
tried dropping login from 'options' file and changed pap-secrets file:
userxxx  *  passwdxxx
still nogo....
What am i missing in `options` file? userxxx can login to the terminal
i know the passwd is correct.....minicom session works.
Thanks in advance again for your time...
mel
