Topic: Authorisation timeout (ISP)

[Aart]

Hi,

I'm using e-smith 5.5b7 and I'm connecting to our ISP using ISDN. My problem is that after dialing and connecting to the ISP, the authorisation often fails which leads to a 'connector:  timed out' and a (lot of) retries/redial(s) (=a lot of $$ ;-(  ) .After a lot of attempts, the authorisation often finally succeeds...

I extracted the following data from the 'messages' logfile:

....for a failed login, multiple times:

Sep 16 11:34:56 csesrv ipppd[1155]: sent [1][PAP AuthReq id=0x15 user="abcdef" password not logged for security reasons! Use '+pwlog' option to enable full logging.] Sep 16 11:34:56 csesrv ipppd[1155]: rcvd [1][LCP ConfReq id=0x87 ]
Sep 16 11:34:56 csesrv ipppd[1155]: sent [1][LCP ConfReq id=0x3 ]
Sep 16 11:34:56 csesrv ipppd[1155]: sent [1][LCP ConfAck id=0x87 ]
Sep 16 11:34:56 csesrv ipppd[1155]: rcvd [1][LCP ConfAck id=0x2 ]
Sep 16 11:34:59 csesrv ipppd[1155]: sent [1][LCP ConfReq id=0x3 ]
Sep 16 11:34:59 csesrv ipppd[1155]: rcvd [1][LCP ConfAck id=0x3 ]
Sep 16 11:34:59 csesrv ipppd[1155]: lcp layer is UP
Sep 16 11:34:59 csesrv ipppd[1155]: sent [1][PAP AuthReq id=0x16 user="abcdef" password not logged for security reasons! Use '+pwlog' option to enable full logging.] Sep 16 11:34:59 csesrv ipppd[1155]: rcvd [1][LCP ConfReq id=0x88 ]
Sep 16 11:34:59 csesrv ipppd[1155]: sent [1][LCP ConfReq id=0x4 ]
Sep 16 11:34:59 csesrv ipppd[1155]: sent [1][LCP ConfAck id=0x88 ]

...and finally:
Sep 16 11:35:49 csesrv diald[1205]: connector: Timed out

On success I get the following:

Sep 15 15:47:10 csesrv ipppd[1172]: sent

• [PAP AuthReq id=0xfd user="abcdef" password not logged for security reasons! Use '+pwlog' option to enable full logging.] Sep 15 15:47:10 csesrv ipppd[1172]: rcvd
• [PAP AuthAck id=0xfdmsg=""] Sep 15 15:47:10 csesrv ipppd[1172]: Remote message:

• [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 ] Sep 15 15:47:10 csesrv ipppd[1172]: CCP enabled! Trying CCP.

..etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Aart
