[pptp-server] pptp client

[Cowles, Steve]

I know this question is being asked alot in this group lately. In fact, I
had the same problem two weeks ago... Since Neale Banks has a good start on
trying to document these types of questions, I think what we need to do is
add some "definitive" examples (not guesses) on how to configure linux to be
a client for both a PopTop/PPPD and NT  based servers. 

In order to contribute to this cause, I have both an NT RAS server (SP6a
128bit) running at my end along with a PopTop/pppd server (fully patched).
Both sitting behind a linux based firewall. I would be willing to work with
someone in trying to "fully" document the following information to be
included in Neale's Howto. MY goal is to provide Neale with the following
info for his document.

1) Specific Examples (client/server side) for /etc/ppp/options.
2) Specific Examples (client/server side) for /etc/ppp/chap-secrets.
3) Specific Examples for the invocation of the pptp client (Both NT and
PPPD)

What I need is someone that "understands" pppd internals (at least better
than me, I know very little), not someone with alot of time on their hands.
I really think this information would be a good addition to the PopTop WEB
page. 

Your feedback... Any takers??? Neale??

Please reply to me directly if your interested.

Hello,

	I'm having problems getting pptp-linux-1.0.2 to connect to an NT
4.0 PPTP server.  Is this even possible?  Anyways, my config is as listed
below.

Patched ppp-2.3.10 with ppp-2.3.10-openssl-norc4-mppe.patch  (for MSCHAP)

/etc/ppp/options -
lock
debug
auth
+chap
+chapms
+chapms-v2
mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets (note - *'s are literal.. is this correct?)
cm4878          *       mypassword          *
GRUUV\\cm4878    *       mypassword          *

starting using ./pptp ipaddressofpptpserver user GRUUV\\cm4878

All I see in /var/log/messages is:
Feb 22 01:49:06 plextor pppd[3450]: pppd 2.3.10 started by root, uid 0
Feb 22 01:49:06 plextor pppd[3450]: Using interface ppp0
Feb 22 01:49:06 plextor pppd[3450]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttya0
Feb 22 01:49:09 plextor pppd[3450]: peer refused to authenticate:
terminating link
Feb 22 01:49:09 plextor pppd[3450]: Connection terminated.
Feb 22 01:49:10 plextor pppd[3450]: Exit. 


What the heck am I missing?!?!?!?  Probably alot!  Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

Chad
