Thankyou all for the pointer to use PAP,
I can now connect no problems. didn't try CHAP though.

Thanks Robin for the security tips. Though I don't have sensitive
data on my server, guess it'ld be good to be
preventive then reactive. (could you send the ip filter
script) I'd be interested in using it.

I'm going thru the Linux Security and Optimization guide
by Gerhard Mourani: http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/docs.html#guide
Has lots of tips there...

Happy Surfing,
Adrian.
