Problem CHAP Challenge with PPP v2.5.1-dev

Hello,

For an embedded system using ppp v2.4.7 on a linux from scratch v4.14 base, this works without a hitch.
For security reasons, we're migrating to linux from scratch v6.1 and ppp v2.5.1-dev.

With the same configuration, the same SIM card, I encounter the following problem:

Here is the file   /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

 orange    *      orange     *

when I delete the chap-secrets file it forces PAP authentication and the connection works again.
As it is preferable to work in CHAP, I need to solve this problem.

the file   /etc/ppp/pap-secrets   is the same as   /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

The pppd v2.5.0 has the same problem with different folder locations.

thank you for your help
