[SOLVED] pppd could not be invoked by "pppoe-server"

Post by uuwata » 2011/08/15 15:54:07

Hello all,

I am trying to setup a pppoe server. But it could not establish PPPoE connection. Below is a log on the pppoe server.

If anyone has the same experience and solves the problem, please tell me the solution.

Thank you.


Aug 15 10:06:32 pppoe-server pppoe-server[2616]: Session 20 created for client 52:54:08:14:08:02 (10.67.15.20) on eth0 using Service-Name ''
Aug 15 10:06:32 pppoe-server pppd[2616]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
Aug 15 10:06:32 pppoe-server pppd[2616]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
Aug 15 10:06:32 pppoe-server pppd[2616]: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)

[SOLVED]

The problem has been solved by changing a line in a "pap-secrets" file;

from ...
[code]id * passwd[/code]

to ...
[code]id * passwd *[/code]

Thank you
