Peer is not authorized to use address
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:54 EDT
Using rp3-config to dial my ISP doesn't work. rp3-debug says: ------------------------------------- login: Looks like a login prompt. Sending: zapata.freeserve.co.uk zapata.freeserve.co.uk Password: Looks like a password prompt. Sending: (password) Entering PPP mode. Async interface address is unnumbered (FastEthernet0) Your IP address is 62.136.240.118. MTU is 1500 bytes Looks like a welcome message. Starting pppd at Mon Jan 24 11:17:16 2000 PPP daemon has died! (exit code = 10) Disconnecting at Mon Jan 24 11:17:17 2000 ----------------------------------------------------- /var/log/messages says: ----------------------------------------------------- Jan 24 11:17:17 turmoil pppd[4077]: Peer is not authorized to use remote address 195.92.66.33 Jan 24 11:17:17 turmoil pppd[4077]: Connection terminated. This happens with _and_ without 'let ppp do all authentication'. When using Linuxconf, and then /sbin/ifup pppX, it works fine. Doublechecked for 2 ISPs.
Do you have any other interfaces present on the workstation? You should only see this error if you have another network interface up, or if you've somehow configured pppd to require the other end to have a specific address other than 195.92.66.33.
Is this fixed in the latest initscripts and ppp releases?
Yes it is. You can close this bug. Jules
