The format of my pap-secrets file is; Username foo.com "" * I have the "login" & "require-pap" option in my options file but it wont authenticate using the system password file. I get the following in my logs; sent [PAP AuthNak id=0x1 "Login incorrect"] sent [LCP TermReq id=0x2 "Authentication failed"] BUT if I put the users password in the pap-secrets file it works just fine. I have seen a few previous posts regarding this problem with much earlier versions of FreeBSD,but no solutions, I'm using FreeBSD 3.1 Release.
