Greeting,
Please could some one assist me here I am really stuck.
I have setup a dialin server with mgetty and pppd.
I can make a terminal connection and login from the various accounts
configured in /etc/passwd
But this is only a terminal connection.
should there be a ppp0 or similar listing from ifconfig?
The pppd starts correctly and is running on the server when the connection is
made
[root at preload mgetty+sendfax]# ps aux |grep pppd
root 22872 0.0 0.2 2120 920 ttyS0 S 14:45 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd
silent auth -chap +pap login
root 22884 0.0 0.1 3692 644 pts/1 S 14:46 0:00 grep pppd
The kppp terminal dailer shows this on login which is good:
preload.teq.pinteq login: ppp
Password:
Last login: Sat Feb 12 14:37:32 on ttyS0
there are no errors in the logs:
the problem is when I set kppp (on the client) to PAP it connects dies
instanly and gives me this error
Feb 12 14:53:27 chadlap pppd[8639]: By default the remote system is required
to authenticate itself
Feb 12 14:53:27 chadlap pppd[8639]: (because this system has a default route
to the internet)
Feb 12 14:53:27 chadlap pppd[8639]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret
(password) for it to use to do so.
What am I missing?
Is this saying that the server must also authenticate to the client or that
the client is not authenticating to the server.
