Package: kppp Version: 4:4.4.5-2 Severity: normal I recently upgraded to Debian Squeeze (6) from Debian Lenny (5). kppp was working in Lenny, but does not work now. It connects to the modem, and dials, but it then gives an error 1 (pppd error that apparently means "An immediately fatal error of some kind occurred, such as an essential system call failing, or running out of virtual memory.") Often the program freezes, and I have to use xkill to get rid of it. I can connect to the internet using pon/poff (via a setup with pppconfig), but kppp does not work. I'm a member of both dialout and dip groups. The file /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options is set to noauth (it's uncommented, and thus working). I tried creating a new dial-out profile, but it still did not work. Here is the kppp log: Mar 9 23:29:05 debian pppd[5454]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself Mar 9 23:29:05 debian pppd[5454]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so. Mar 9 23:29:05 debian pppd[5454]: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)
