Really? Do you have evidence for that? Why would pppd retry if
authentication fails - the authentication is unlikely to succeed when
retried.
I did have a look at maxfail:
maxfail n
Terminate after n consecutive failed connection attempts. A value
of 0 means no limit. The default value is 10.
I wanted to have 0 retries. Is there a way ?
"maxfail 1" will not retry ("terminate after 1 failed connection attempt").
