We've noticed a strange phenomenon on our HiPers used for
dial-in:
It seems (this may not be true, though) that suddenly
the hipers will not authenticate older Macs (using MacPPP/ConfigPPP), older
Windows (Winsock), or even HyperTerminal logins.
The log (We use Cistron Radius on a RHLinux 6.1 box for
authentication and accounting) shows the username fine, but the password is
garbled (garbage characters), and thus can not authenticate.
The Hipers are all running 2.0.51 (Which, BTW, really helped
the problems with losing modems), and they have been hardware
reset.
From telnet, the SHOW PPP gives a Dial-in Users
Authenticate set to "ANY".
I have used SET to change this to the other settings and
back again.
Our Quads which authenticate on the same box are
unaffected.
The only recent change unique to the hiper chassis is it was
switched to a new backbone provider and now has all new IP's. There are no other
problems-everyone else can connect fine
Other PPP (Mac and PC) are fine, only older PPP
programs have problems.
