No matter what I do I have the same report:

I’ve tryed to make /etc/ppp/pap-secrets to look like this:
guest * “”

Even this fails!

I’ve tryed to use pppd v2.3.0 from tcpip v4.25D security patch A it does
not even start under Tcpip v5.0A…

Currently my /etc/ppp/opions is:
debug
192.168.255.2:
auth
login


I’m desperate!
Please comment.

So apparently pppd does not run as root.

It seems that either pppd cannot access /etc/shadow, or you
don’t have a user “guest” with password “guest” configured.

But on the next line it logs:

Apr 22 22:21:36 localhost pppd[364]: pppd 2.3.5 started by System, uid 0

Strange if being uid 0 is not having the root’s privileges…
I’d like to know too what that “session” that it could not set.

I do have the “guest” account in the database.

login: guest, password: guest
