If the server to which you are connecting requires PAP or CHAP authentication, you have a little bit more work.
To the above options file, add the following lines
# # force pppd to use your ISP user name as your 'host name' during the # authentication process name <your ISP user name> # you need to edit this line # # If you are running a PPP *server* and need to force PAP or CHAP # uncomment the appropriate one of the following lines. Do NOT use # these is you are a client connecting to a PPP server (even if it uses PAP # or CHAP) as this tells the SERVER to authenticate itself to your # machine (which almost certainly can't do - and the link will fail). #+chap #+pap # # If you are using ENCRYPTED secrets in the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets # file, then uncomment the following line. # Note: this is NOT the same as using MS encrypted passwords as can be # set up in MS RAS on Windows NT. #+papcrypt |
