pppd-pap problem

Hi Everybody,
i need to make the ppp-authentication phase (pap) up in my linux -2.4 and the peer is Mandrake-linux-2.6. I am using pppd command for the same.
I am using the below command.
$pppd /dev/ppps locip:remip user (user_name) remotename(remote_name) papcrypt

In /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file, i am giving the secret passwd with which i authenticate the peer. In /etc/ppp/options i am giving auth option.

The same thing i am doing in the peer machine and when i started the pppd cmd in both machines,i get the error saying
pppd: The remote system (remote_name) is required to authenticate itself
pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so

How to sort out this?? Can anybody help me in this regard.

Thanks ,
Sriram

pppd-radius

PPPD-RADIUS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    PPPD-RADIUS(8)

NAME

       radius.so - RADIUS authentication plugin for pppd(8)

SYNOPSIS

       pppd [ options ] plugin radius.so

DESCRIPTION

       The  RADIUS  plugin for pppd permits pppd to perform PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2 authentication against a RADIUS server instead of the
       usual /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets files.

       The RADIUS plugin is built on a library called radiusclient which has its own configuration files (usually in  /etc/radiusclient),  consult
       those files for more information on configuring the RADIUS plugin

OPTIONS

       The RADIUS plugin introduces one additional pppd option:

       radius-config-file filename
	      The  file  filename  is  taken  as  the  radiusclient  configuration  file.   If	this  option  is  not  used,  then the plugin uses
	      /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf as the configuration file.

       avpair attribute=value
	      Adds an Attribute-Value pair to be passed on to the RADIUS server on each request.

       map-to-ifname
	      Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute to number equal to interface name (Default)

       map-to-ttyname
	      Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute value via libradiusclient library

USAGE

       To use the plugin, simply supply the plugin radius.so option to pppd, and edit /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf appropriately.   If  you
       use  the  RADIUS  plugin,  the  normal  pppd authentication schemes (login, checking the /etc/ppp/*-secrets files) are skipped.	The RADIUS
       server should assign an IP address to the peer using the RADIUS Framed-IP-Address attribute.
