After my dsl modem gets disconnected, ipfire lose the passwort for a new login. The red log looks like this: 12:48:08 pppd[8425]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. 12:48:08 pppd[8425]: RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.8p compiled against pppd 2.4.8 12:48:08 pppd[8425]: pppd 2.4.8 started by root, uid 0 12:48:44 pppd[8425]: PPP session is 698 12:48:44 pppd[8425]: Connected to 00:31:46:07:23:81 via interface red0.7 12:48:44 pppd[8425]: Using interface ppp0 12:48:44 pppd[8425]: Connect: ppp0 <–> red0.7 12:48:44 pppd[8425]: PAP authentication failed 12:48:44 pppd[8425]: Modem hangup 12:48:44 pppd[8425]: Connection terminated. 12:48:44 pppd[8425]: Sent PADT 12:48:44 pppd[8425]: Exit. When i check /var/ipfire/ppp/secrets i only see this: ‘LoginUsername@domain.de’ * ‘’ Then i enter the password again in the web interface and ipfire can connect to my provider until the next hung up of my dsl modem. The system runs core 150 an was newly installed with core149. If you need more information or logging, just contact me.
Do you have any special characters in that password?
Shure i have: & * % and |
(In reply to S H from comment #2) > Shure i have: & * % and | These are shell meta characters and are currently being filtered. We allow: A-Za-z0-9=/,.:%_@#+- Is it possible for you to change this password to only contain the characters listed above?
I self created it with Keepass and the option for special characters. I change it in the next few days and give you feedback.
I have changed the password. Now there are only letters and numbers and one "@" as special character. Let's see what happens on the next disconnection...
After several disconnections up to 30 minutes, the password get's no longer lost. So it seems to be solfed by removing some special characters. Unless this i think these charactes should be supported in a passphrase by ipfire, because they are expicitly supported and requested by some providers. In my case (1&1) these characters are allowed: !"#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_{|}~
Thank you for your feedback. I will close this ticket then.
