[pptp-server] Error 629 on NT

Can someone help me out with this error. Log and config files follow.  The
"The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I couldn't find
any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so." error seems to
indicate that something is wrong with the chap-secrets file but I have
checked and double checked it.  I even tried using the "billy   servername
bob     *" from the setup instructions but to no avail.  Any help would be
appreciated.
