Don't use the option "noauth" then
No, it's not a "noauth" option problem. This *SAME* configuration works very well with baselayout 1.12.6, and noauth is needed to work correctly with my ISP The problem ONLY occurs with baselayout 1.12.7 and is not related to pppd options... Here is the command line launched by baselayout 1.12.6 : root 4972 0.0 0.1 4380 1280 ?

There's an error in it. Look at the line : sent [CHAP Response id=0x9d <a67a7f3ed67d07a0937f7eb13e4b91a4>, name = "marvin"] name = "marvin" is an error (marvin is the name of my box), it should be mylogin instead of that.
Resolution of bug #104869 conflicts with this one. Would mobile advise which bug they would prefer to be resolved?
The whole bug 104869 is INVALID. By simply not setting username_ppp0, you will not have "username" attached to pppd command line. "noauth" refers to pppd not requesting the peer to authenticate itself. It doesn't say anything about us authenticating. Quote from pppd manual: noauth - Do not require the peer to authenticate itself. This option is privileged.
Ok, I see. There must be a misunderstanding on the "noauth" option meaning... noauth is used not to authenticate the peer you want to connect to. For example : I need noauth param so that my ppp endpoint have not to authenticate to me. But that does not mean I have to disable my chap authentication ! Example : I'm A, and my ppp endpoint (at my ISP) is B With noauth and chap parameters (user/password) B does not need to authenticate to A (because A have the "noauth" option), but A always need to authenticate (with chap) to B, because B ppp endpoint has the "auth" option. so if A has the noauth option, that does NOT mean that A have to disable his own chap authentication, but only that A does not have to wait for an authentication from B. For me resolution of bug #104869 is corrupting the meaning of noauth option Regards
I experienced the same today. Going by the pppd man pages and net.example I had noauth in my config and after an update of baselayout I suddenly couldn't connect any more. Finding the reason without access to the internet was a tough one. Therefore I'd like to see this here at a high priority, since it's easy to revert attachment #103058 [details, diff] and release a new revision, but until this happens the impact on people can be rather severe.
Fixed in 1.12.8
