Hallo Uwe,
There was a bug in the original 7.3 passwordfd pppd plugin. SuSE has provided an update a while ago. Maybe your problem is related to this.
Sometimes I did get the an error relating to the passwordfd plugin - always correlated with having a green circle behind kinternets symbol in the menu. Don't know how I got there. Right now the passwordfd does not seem to be the problem, at least I don't get any messages relating to it. I nevertheless checked which version of ppp is installed on my system and it seems to be the right one: rpm -q -i ppp_ssl gives a not installed message rpm -q -i ppp gives: version 2.4.1, release 28, build Ho
Suse support database in one article says that the password should be in all three of these files: /etc/wvdial.conf (username and password are in there alright) /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (it is not in there) /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (it is not in there) I thought that if the password is in wvdial.conf that it then would automatically be passed on to the authorization process? But maybe not? I can't check what is happening if I enter the password in these files, but will try later, since this is the only thing I can think of right now.
Does your dialin require PAP or CHAP for authentication? Did you try wvdial.lxdialog to configure wvdial? Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
