Hey Linux lovers

I've got a problem connecting to the net using kppp. My modem (serial) dials out fine however I get this message after loosing the connection with exit status 1;

han@debian:~$ kppp
Opener: received SetSecret
Opener: received SetSecret
Opener: received OpenLock

Opener: received OpenDevice
Opener: received ExecPPPDaemon
In parent: pppd pid 2112
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Kernel supports ppp alright.
pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
pppd: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)
It was pppd that died
pppd exited with return value 1
Sending 2107 a SIGUSR1
Opener: received RemoveSecret
Opener: received RemoveSecret
Opener: received OpenResolv
Opener: received OpenResolv

as you can see it yaps about passwords, however I've tried various accounts with passwords that i know to be good. Any advice........

try adding 'noauth' option to pppd

[cage47]

Nope. Go to /etc/ppp and find the options file.

then change the line

auth

to

# auth

This deactivates the authentification process. Putting noauth in the options in KPPP doesn't seem to work. You have to do it the hard way.

Just a little post to say thank you to DOllaBillz217and cage47 for their assistance.

In my case the noauth option suggested by DOllaBillz217 was enough to solve my problem.

thanks guys
