I have two VM's running on Ubuntu box.Their name and IP addresses are give below.
nas 192.168.129.153
home_user 192.168.129.152
I establish a ppp connection between the two machines
\#nas \(server\)
sudo pppd noauth local lock defaultroute persist nodetach 10.1.1.2:10.1.1.3 pty �nc -l 3333�
\#home_user\(client\)
sudo pppd noauth local lock nodetach passive pty �nc 192.168.129.153 3333�
Once I do the above I can see a ppp connection established between the two machines (from ifconfig )
\#nas \(server\)
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:10.1.1.2 P-t-P:10.1.1.3 Mask:255.255.255.255

My next aim is to use PPPoE for transport.I install pppoe package on the server
sudo apt-get install pppoe
sudo pppoe-server -I eth0 -L 192.168.129.153 -R 192.168.129.152 -O /etc/ppp/options
I have edited the options file to enable chap and pap authentication.I have also edited chap and pap secret files.
Now my question how do I use the ppp daemon pppd to connect to the server above?
It seems that I have to use the /usr/lib/ppp/version/rp-pppoe.so (part of ppp daemon).How do I make the ppp daemon act as a pppoe client that supports authentication?Any help is appreciated.
