To determine what the permissions are on a file you have to look at
the first column of the ls -l output. You divide it into four sections
as follows:

-|rwx|rwx|rwx

The first section is a single character that tells you what kind of
file it is. If you just have a - then it is a regular file. The next
section is owner permissions, next is group permissions, and last is
world permissions. Therefore your pap-secrets files does have world
read and execute permissions. Do a chmod 600 pap-secrets and you
should stop that warning message.

I don't know that the warning is really the source of the problem.
In your log file you go from:

> localhost    pppd [282] :  Warning - secret file /etc7ppp/pap-secrets has
> world and/or group access

to:

> localhost    pppd [282] :  Hangup (SIGHUP)

Is there nothing in between there? You should have a bunch of LCP
events.  Based on your comments above, the problem seems to be
centered around a password problem. I wonder if this could be as
simple as an incorrect password in the pap-secrets file. Have you
double checked that? Remember that the username must be all lowercase
and the password is case-sensitive. If you tell me the exact time that
you try it next time, I can check SouthWind's logs and see what they
might indicate. Or give me a call at work during business hours
(numbers below).

I hate to beat a dead horse here, but you seem to be describing some
things in your log file (Config req and Config rejects) that you did
not list above. It would be really helpfull if you could send those
lines. Particularly important are the ones that contain LCP, PAP, and
IPCP.
