I got now DSL. I changed my password with a mix of numbers/alphabetic and some special characters.
The lenght was 30. Yes. I like long passwords.
The python-scripts from system-config-network can't handle this. Chap etc. even. They don't like long passwords. Complicated one are bad for them. I got every time a crash when i wanted to change.
:eek:
So i cleared out the pass manually in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.
I changed now the pass to a shorter one and now it works again. Thankx to my USRobotics.
Now what i want to know ?
1. How can i use longer passwords with system-config-network ?
2. How can i encrypt the passes in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and chap-secrets ?
This goes right to the Feds above. Plz tell us.
Thank you. :)
