[pptp-server] CHAP still not working!

Brian,

How about you send me pppd's debug info.. simply saying "this still will
not work" doesn't get you far. If you got the exact error message as
your last message then you could say as much.

secondly, did you even follow my instructions from last time? from
looking at your files I would say not!!

finally, what client are you using (NT or 9x)? and what settings do you
have? Are you specifically trying to get authenticated with MSCHAP? if
so.. you probably don't need require-chap in your options file (?).

Cheers,
Matt
