Re: gnome-ppp

You probably need to configure your pap-secrets file or your chap-secrets
file. Edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and configure it similarly:

# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client        server  secret                  IP addresses

Pbratsche       dfw.net mypassword

The first token is your userid. The second is just a unique identifier
that you'll use in gnome-ppp's config. I set mine to be my ISP's domain
name. The third is your password.

Now go into gnome-ppp and create an account. You've probably done all this
now, so I'll skip most of this process and assume you've done them. Make
sure that your 'Script' tab contains nothing, then go to the
'Authentification' tag. Set it up to use the three tokens you inserted
into your pap-secrets file:
   User Name: Pbratsche
 Remote Name: dfw.net

"Remote Name" is sort of misleading. It has nothing to do with the remote
server's name. It's just the unique ID that you put into your pap-secrets
file.
