The above is the error, a pppd problem not a pptpd problem.

The problem could easily be the \\'s.  You might need to use \\\\
or something like that as \ is the traditional Unix quote character
so \\ is probably needed to indicate \.

You can just use 'simple' usernames if you want, like user1 and user2,
but if your clients are used to the lagre\\user1 format then I guess it's
best to stay consistent.
