[pptp-server] Redhat installation clarification question

[Michael Walter]

your close...
using your examples

# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client        				server	secret
IP addresses
jondoe					*		password(plaintext)
*
\\(domain in lowecase)\jondoe		*		password(plaintext)
*
\\(domain in uppercase)\jondoe	*		password(plaintext)	*


once you have added your passwords do a:
chmod 400 chap-secrets
this will make the file read only and exclusive to root.

As the passwords are in plain text, I highly recommend a good ipchains
ruleset, or hiding the vpn behind a firewall.  the \\domainname in upper and
lowercase will save you headaches later.


Thanks,

I'm stuck at the "Setup your chap-secrets file." step.  The file contains
two commented lines:
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client        server  secret                  IP addresses
What do I put here?  I am thinking:
client: account name (like jondoe),
server: ??  I don't know what goes there
secret: jondoe's password (plaintext??)
ip addresses: ??  I don't know

Thanks,
Chris Williams
