For instance I have a little script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to start up ppp with -ddial. Suddenly I couldn't authenticate a connection unless I hit ctrl-c during the script to fork it into the background, and suddenly _one_ of the dial up numbers I used that had a PortHampster ;-) PM3 attached to it connected, authenticated (as long as I hit ctrl-c) but the send/recv lights light up like a christmas tree until the connection timed out (30+ minutes sometimes), the VP of Engineering claims that it's hosting a full load as of my complaint. But at least things still redialed correctly. After a few more commits and make worlds pap and chap authentication stopped working all together. I'd left my configuration untouched with the exception of adding an "account" to /etc/ppp.secrets to allow ppp to actually work and let me telnet in when needed. I've added deny pred1 to my ppp.conf, and looked over everything. My isp requires that I use a WEN4/ or ppp- prefix with my login name. Neither one works. Now to get connected I have to load ppp manually and dial and login by hand, or use a chat script with my password out in the open (oh joy). I'd love to get chap/pap working again. Any ideas? - alex
