In localhost.freebsd.questions you write: >I would like to convert my PPP link to using PAP and/or CHAP for >authentication.

If the systems you're connecting to have traditional UNIX passwords, they won't be able to use chap (chap requires an unencrypted password on both sides, I believe--it does some sort of "no-sniff" shared secret stuff). You might try PAP and see if that works. Personally, I had trouble trying to use PAP on my ppp, but that was user-mode (and I didn't try very hard). >I have read and read and re-read the pppd manual page, and I have >check the FAQ's and the handbook, as well (though it is always possible >that I may have missed something). >I will be happy to provide my /etc/ppp/options file, the syslog >debug output, and other documentation to anyone interested in helping >or advising. >Thanks! >BTW, I don't subscribe to this list, so please include me in your >replies. > John Lind, Starfire Consulting Services >E-mail: john@starfire.MN.ORG USnail: PO Box 17247, Mpls MN 55417 -- bryan k ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
