[olug] Help with Redhat 9 & kppp

[Irv Cobb]

I'm in the process of moving from Redhat 8 to 9. Pretty smooth 
transition except that I can't get kppp to work for me.

It will dial out, but then dies with the following:

> May 29 14:53:37 main pppd[3660]: By default the remote system is 
> required to authenticate itself
> May 29 14:53:37 main pppd[3660]: (because this system has a default 
> route to the internet)
> May 29 14:53:37 main pppd[3660]: but I couldn't find any suitable 
> secret (password) for it to use to do so.
> May 29 14:53:37 main pppd[3660]: (None of the available passwords 
> would let it use an IP address.)

I've googled a bunch, but not found anything that helps. Tried feeding 
"noauth" to pppd, but this just informs me that I must be root.

I _can_ dial out using neat, but this requires root pasword, manual 
starting of the browser, and doesn't show das blinkenlights.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!
