Hello. Sorry for asking this *again*, but I am almost desperate, after some six hours trying to make the thing work, reading man pages, the handbook, mailing list archives and pppd sources, while having a friend call the modem every two minutes or so, to check the progress. I am using FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE (cvsupped at about 02:00 GMT, on Aug. 15th), and I cannot get pppd to work with the setup mentioned in the subject line. So, can anyone please enlighten me with this: I want to have kernel PPP, with PAP authentication and using the system password file, and wtmp entries. (I want all the users with accounts on the machine to be able to connect, but it is OK if I will be able to config who can connect, and who cannot) I set up a little chat script to put the modem in autoanswer and no-echo mode (I found the ATE0 thing in the mailing list archive). I have tried the following options: login without auth allows anyone to connect, no matter the password. login with auth refuses connection. login with auth and require-pap and refuse-chap fails to connect. My problem seems to be the fact that I only get "PAP authentication failure for user XXX", no _login_ failures, so I suspect either the plogin function in /usr/src/usr.sbin/pppd is not called, or it does something strange. (Fun note: before I read parts of the source, I was even trying to change the order of options in /etc/ppp/options) So, can anyone please post a working /etc/ppp/options and the details (should /etc/ppp/pap-secrets exist or not? what should it contain? what about /etc/ppp/pppshells? should I use domain and name in /etc/ppp/options? any more hints?) I am willing to try and compile a tutorial or an article to send to freebsd-diary, or to send to someone that manages the handbook/docs if I get enough info.
