I just need a "temporary" pppoe server, that only uses PAP
___Can someone post a howto, just in a few lines, what to do?___
If I just do "pppd require-pap" then it gives this error:
pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself pppd: but I couldn't fin any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
pppd is by default installed. and there are just a few modifications needed to start it with only using PAP auth..
what am I missing?
It's not needed, that the clients actually log in through pppoe, I just need a pppoe server that enforces PAP, so that we could get the passwords of the clients...
Thank you in anticipation..!!

You have posted this at least to three groups (centos, fedora, ubuntu). No-one here should waste time in answering your mail extensive.

Your quotation is very hard to read. Never mind, I do not know what you think. My post was not rudeness. I hope so. In my opinion it is very interesting that lot of people speak in this thread but no one helped the original poster. So, if I am wrong, why could no one answer such an easy question by reading the howto and repeat it in his own words here in this list. And with a little luck the questioner will read it.

Maybe he just needs a quick answer. I never knew there were limits to who you can ask or what forums you can visit or the mailing lists you can use.
What are you doing reading all those mailing lists, hmm?

Good to know that this is ok. I will internalize it.

Computer Science. What are the lists about? Think twice.
And what are you doing, answering to my post but not to help the original poster although his intentions are all right for you? You should give him an howto in your own words to hand. That is the best way to show me that I am wrong. So, spend some time and help him.

Did you see the part in the man page about: Pppd stores secrets for use in authentication in secrets files (/etc/ppp/pap-secrets for PAP ..., etc., which is followed by the expected format?

Of course he didn't. Had he seen it this would not have been spammed to multiple mailing lists.
