Well, I'd say that you should invoke the chat script with the -v
option. Then all info will be syslogged. Make sure that you are
not needing to do CHAP/PAP instead of ogin: assword:. They can be
set up by:
o specifying "user foo" in /etc/ppp/options, and
o creating files /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
which have something like:
* * "passwd" *
in them. You might be interested in not putting all the
wildcards in, but they are good for testing.
Note: there are quoting conventions in all of the files mentioned,
so you should be careful about that. (See the man pages pppd(8)
and chat(8) for details, as I don't remember off the top of my head
what all of them are.)
