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

NAME

       irnetd - Handle automatically incoming IrNET connections

SYNOPSIS

       irnetd [ppp-options]

DESCRIPTION

       Irnetd  is  a very simple daemon automatically handling incoming IrNET connections.  Every time a peer attempt to connect to the local com-
       puter, irnetd generates the relevant pppd(8) command to starts an IrNET server handling this peer.

PARAMETERS

       ppp-options
	      Override the default pppd(8) options. These options will just be passed on the command line of pppd(8).	The  default  options  are
	      "noauth nolock connect-delay 0 idle 10" which should fit most usages.
