[pptp-server] PPTP Authentication

Hi All,

I've got a Linux box running PPTP and am trying to use an NT Server for
authentication of incoming connections.

I notice that PPTP uses the CHAP protocol, which sends and encrypted key
which is matched by the secret after encryption before authentication is
deemed successful.

I can test a username/password combination from the NT Server, but I only
get username and encrypted secret.

Has anyone any ideas on how to make it either use PAP or how to authenticate
to the NT Server using CHAP?

Regards,
Josh Marshall.
