[pptp-server] (no subject)

[Matthew Ramsay]

I usually have mine setup like this (from memory):

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
DOMAIN\\username servername password *

/etc/ppp/options.pptp
name servername

I think the correct way to do it may be this tho:
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
DOMAIN\\username servername password *

/etc/ppp/options.pptp
name DOMAIN\\username
user DOMAIN\\username
remotename servername

I think both would work...? btw, I seem to recall reading somewhere that
the chap-secrets file should also reverse the order .. eg.
DOMAIN\\username servername password *
servername DOMAIN\\username password *

don't know why that is... anyone have any further comments?

cheers,
-matt
