[pptp-server] patch - fix

[Gord Belsey]

I could be wrong, and feel free to correct me, but the way I understand it,
the ip address in the chap-secrets file is only used as part of
authentication...if you specify an address, the ip address of the client
(or "other side") is checked along with username and password.   By using an
asterick, you're saying "from any ip address".

As for assigning specific addresses, I use the ipcp-accept-local and
ipcp-accept-remote in the options file on the pptp server, and specify the
address I want the client to use as part of running the client (linux
client).  I don't worry about the server end personally, but you can also
specify that (ie: the address for both ends of the ppp connection) when
running the client, as well.

I've never actually tried it, but for a windows client you should only have
to cobfigure the address in the vpn/DUN session....should work but your
mileage may vary.

Hope this is useful info, and feel free to correct me :o)
