Title: Peer refused to authenticate
Post by: will on July 10, 2001, 07:38:53 PM

Our server is set up to dial-in to our local ISP.  When we try to establish a connection with our ISP, we get the following error (near the bottom) in our /var/log/messages.  Any suggestions of how we can get the connection to work. Thanks

The problem is probably exactly what log says it is... authentication failure. Verify your userid/passwd combo with your ISP.  

If the userid/passwd is the same as the combo used to access your ISPs mail servers, you can verify the combo yourself by telnetting to port 110 of your ISPs POP server and typing the following commands:

  [pkn@halifax pkn]$ telnet www.nesbit.ca 110
  Trying 192.168.69.1...
  Connected to www.nesbit.ca.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  +OK <2383.994812093@localhost>
  user pkn
  +OK
  pass your_passwd
  +OK

Thanks, Paul - we found the solution to our problem was to add ' -chap +pap ' to the pppd command in /etc/diald.conf, because for some reason diald did not know how to negotiate authentication with our ISP.
