]hi,

What operating system are you running this on?

Why did you put these lines into pap-secrets. How did you indicate the location of the pap
file? pppd does not have any such option that I know of, and the format of the pap secrets
file is
username servername password ipaddresses

albert * comingl878 *
would be an example for user albert and password coming1878.

(This is for ANU pppd. Maybe you have something else. What?)

]"peer authentication require but no authentication files accessible"

Seems clear to me. The permissions on the file are wrong.
chmod go-rwx ?ata0/PapSecrets
