Hi, all.

There is a problem with authentification. I have: FreeBSD PPTP server
and WinNT client. I've forced them to communicate with each other and
client box nave access to the hole net. But it is working without any
auth. And now i have to add this feature.

I've add the following lines:

/etc/ppp/ppp.conf
pap:
   enable pap
   enable proxy

/etc/options
   auth

/etc/pap-secrets
STACKLTD\\libra         tdn     123     212.20.57.201

Dial account in WinNT have "Allow non crypted passwords" in Security
Tab. As i understand that is PAP auth.
Trying to connect ...
Result:
Oct  4 01:01:42 test-bsd pppd[5581]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
Oct  4 01:01:42 test-bsd pppd[5581]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
Oct  4 01:01:42 test-bsd pptpd[5580]: GRE: read(fd=4,buffer=804dac0,len=8196) from PTY failed: status = 0 error = No error
Oct  4 01:01:42 test-bsd pptpd[5580]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed (pty,gre)=(4,5)

To my mind PPPD can't allocate password or i'm wrong.

Any suggestions.
Thanks.

Dmitry.
