Trumpet
(for MSDOS
) and the connection simply terminates. Why is this happening? Trumpet
does not like any VJ header
compression. Use the pppd option "-vj
" to turn it off.
dp-3.1.2
(with SunOS
) and the system will not allow me to use anything but ping
, or nslookup
. Why is this happening? There is a bug in the 3.1.2 version of dp. Please
get the 3.1.2a or later file from the dp ftp home site
harbor.ecn.purdue.ecu
. Until you can put the patch into dp,
disable the vj header compression.
Microsoft has chosen to support a non-standard
authentication protocol with Windows NT. That is their right to do so
provided that they have registered the protocol number with the
IANA
. (They have.) If the `accept only Microsoft encrypted
authentication' check box is set in the phone book entry, the
connection will not complete. This setting mandates that the Daytona
system only exchange PPP authentication with another Microsoft PPP
implementation.
Linux does not support this authentication protocol.
If you have the option of changing the settings on the Daytona system then go to the Daytona Phone Book settings, advanced, security settings and choose either `Accept any authentication including clear text' to allow execution without authentication, or `Use clear text terminal login only' for PAP authentication, or `Accept only encrypted authentication' to allow CHAP authentication.
The Microsoft authentication sequence is a PAP style authentication with their encryption algorithm for the passwords. Normal PAP sends the passwords in clear text. This would violate their C2 security goals.
