<tt>Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I'm wishing to report a problem with KPPP 2.2.0 (with KDE 3.3.2 under </tt><tt>Debian
GNU Linux 3.1 "Sarge", kernel 2.4.27</tt><tt>) which I cannot use
properly as a normal user.<br>
<br>
I managed to solve all other problems (I "come from" Knoppix 3.4 and I
couldn't believe there was so much to configure under Debian just to
get KPPP to show up to me as a normal user!) and now my last problem
is: I just can't get onto the internet with KPPP.<br>
Even though I tried to copy as many settings from Knoppix 3.4 (which
altogether worked) as possible to solve all other problems, I'm afraid
with this last problem it was not enough - and I don't know what to do
next.<br>
<br>
<br>
Here are the messages I get :<br>
<br>
from the connection window:<br>
(beginning)<br>
OK<br>
<br>
OK<br>
<br>
CONNECT 52000/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS<br>
(end)<br>
<br>
from the "Unexpected ending of pppd" window:<br>
Code de retour : 1 (it's French - I am French - it means "Return (or
exit?) code")<br>
<br>
and here the actual content of the original logfile:<br>
(beginning)<br>
Dec 8 23:43:28 localhost pppd[1774]: The remote system is required to
authenticate itself<br>
Dec 8 23:43:28 localhost pppd[1774]: but I couldn't find any suitable
secret (password) for it to use to do so.<br>
Dec 8 23:43:28 localhost pppd[1774]: (None of the available passwords
would let it use an IP address.)<br>
(end)<br>
<br>
-----------------<br>
<br>
And once I tried another setting (which I had in Knoppix 3.4): in "pppd
(personalized) arguments": "noauth" (with KPPP set GID)<br>
I then got:<br>
<br>
from the connection window:<br>
(beginning)<br>
OK<br>
<br>
OK<br>
<br>
CONNECT 52000/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS<br>
(end)<br>
<br>
from the "Unexpected ending of pppd" window:<br>
Code de retour : 2<br>
<br>
and as actual content of the original logfile:<br>
(beginning)<br>
Dec 1 23:12:37 localhost pppd[1760]: Exit.<br>
(end)<br>
<br>
------------<br>
<br>
And with a final setting still "pppd (personalized) arguments":
"noauth" but with KPPP set UID (OK, that's the original Debian setting!)<br>
I get:<br>
<br>
from the connection window:<br>
(beginning)<br>
OK<br>
<br>
OK<br>
<br>
CONNECT 52000/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS<br>
(end)<br>
<br>
from the "Unexpected ending of pppd" window:<br>
Code de retour : 2<br>
<br>
and as actual content of the original logfile:<br>
(beginning)<br>
Dec 9 00:19:22 localhost pppd[2282]: using the noauth option requires
root privilege<br>
(end)<br>
<br>
-------------------<br>
<br>
This is the same problem with all of the five ISP's I've tried so far
(and they all work under Knoppix)<br>
<br>
I hope you can make something out of that. I'm also ready to let you
the groups my user belongs to if that's of any help.<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for your support.<br>
<br>
