Dialin servers almost never will authenticate to the client (unless you
have a WAN). Your client ppp setup apparently is asking the server to
authenticate itself to the client. You'll have to turn that off. Did
you use pppconfig for the client? If you want the server to authenticate
itself to the client, then you'll have to configure it to do so (but
probably not what you want). The pap or chap authentication of the
server will refuse connections from clients that don't authenticate
themselves to the server (which is probably what you want) or when
authentication fails (bad user/password pair).
On your dialup, your /etc/ppp/peers/"provider" file should have an entry
of "noauth" so it doesn't ask the server to authenticate itself.
