Fedora Core 3; ADSL connection not working !

Hi,

I am using FC 2 at the moment. The internet connection via ADSL works properly.

I've got another installation with the brand new Fedora Core 3. When trying to
connect to my provider I get the following messages in /var/log/messages:

Nov 10 20:50:26 bird pppd[5581]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0
Nov 10 20:50:26 bird pppd[5581]: Using interface ppp0
Nov 10 20:50:26 bird pppd[5581]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2
Nov 10 20:50:26 bird pppoe[5582]: PPP session is 4153
Nov 10 20:50:26 bird pppd[5581]: Remote message: Request Denied
Nov 10 20:50:26 bird pppd[5581]: PAP authentication failed
Nov 10 20:50:26 bird pppd[5581]: Connection terminated.
Nov 10 20:50:26 bird pppoe[5582]: Session 4153 terminated -- received PADT from

Nov 10 20:50:27 bird pppd[5581]: Exit.
Nov 10 20:50:27 bird adsl-connect: ADSL connection lost; attempting re-connection.


I am especially wondering about this line with "Request Denied".

How do I have to interpretet this (these) message(s)? The password and username
are correct and password and username are the same as with my FC2 installation
(I have compared the files /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets)

Thanks for any advice

greets Boris

Turn on ppp debugging, probably by putting debug and -hide-password
into /etc/ppp/options, or via the gui.

I've put "debug" in /etc/ppp/options. But I don't get any further messages.

I've reported the bug here:

Then it's not picking up the options from there. What do you have in
/etc/ppp/peers? There's probably a file in there specifying your adsl
username. If so, put debug and -hide-password in that one.

There's noting related with my ADSL connection in this directory - only some
files related with isdn and wvdial stuff.

Fedora uses adsl-start (which again uses pppd) to connect to an ADSL-provider.
Maybe this is the reason, why /etc/ppp/options is not used!?

Ok, a quick look at /sbin/adsl-connect on my FC2 box shows a load of options
set via PPP_STD_OPTIONS. Try sticking the extra options in there.

Ok, I didn't know that these binaries were skripst. I'll try it later and will
report about success or not success this evening.

The problem is solved. The reason was a wrong password. Gnome terminal paints
the letter O exactly like the cipher 0, which is way I copied the old password
wrong.

Kindly read the section "OPTIONS FILES" in the pppd man page.

debug Enables connection debugging facilities. If this
option is given, pppd will log the contents of all
control packets sent or received in a readable
form. The packets are logged through syslog with
facility daemon and level debug. This information
can be directed to a file by setting up /etc/sys-
log.conf appropriately (see syslog.conf(5)).

Did you think to look in /etc/syslog.conf ? daemon.debug is not
normally sent to any file. You have to edit /etc/syslog.conf and tell
that daemon where you want the debug information to go, and then
restart the syslogd daemon so that it reads the configuration file.

The 'logfd n', 'logfile filename', dryrun and dump options to pppd are
also very useful in debugging. The first two go back to ppp-2.3.9, the
later only back to 2.4.1.
