no PAP secret found for <username>??

Hi,

I'm trying to get mgetty 1.2.21-2 to work on Redhat 6.1 i386 servers.  I
have one server dialing out using a regular PPP connection, setup by wvdial
which I initiate using the command 'ifup ppp0' which starts the dialing to
the other server.  I have mgetty installed on the dial-in server and
configured as per the documentation (setting up inittab,login.conf etc.)

The modem picks up the connection, handshakes with the other modem, and the
results are written to the logs:

Nov 27 14:35:11 hostname mgetty[639]: data dev=ttyS1, pid=639,
caller='none', conn='38400', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', user='/AutoPPP/'
Nov 27 14:35:11 hostname modprobe: can't locate module char-major-108
Nov 27 14:35:11 hostname pppd[639]: pppd 2.3.10 started by a_ppp, uid 0
Nov 27 14:35:11 hostname pppd[639]: Using interface ppp0
Nov 27 14:35:11 hostname pppd[639]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1
Nov 27 14:35:14 hostname pppd[639]: no PAP secret found for username
<----- ???
Nov 27 14:35:15 hostname pppd[639]: Connection terminated.
Nov 27 14:35:15 hostname pppd[639]: Exit.

What else do I have to configure to get the authentication working
correctly??

Thanks,


Erik
