Sorry to bother you yet again. Actually shadow passwords are not enabled on the server. I added myself to pap-secrets by hand and it still said pap authentication failed! My pap-secrets file reads # Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd * yodeller "" hamish yodeller "password" # UserIDs that cannot use PPP at all. Check your /etc/passwd and add any # other accounts that should not be able to use pppd! guest yodeller "*" - master yodeller "*" - root yodeller "*" - support yodeller "*" - stats yodeller "*" - # OUTBOUND connections # Here you should add your userid password to connect to your providers via # pap. The * means that the password is to be used for ANY host you connect # to. Thus you do not have to worry about the foreign machine name. Just # replace password with your password. # If you have different providers with different passwords then you better # remove the following line. yodeller * password It seems to open and read the pap-secrets file ok (I ran it with strace as you suggested) but still does not work.
