you need to have a file called /etc/ppp/chap-secrets that has a name, pass,
domain and ip (i think) for each user that will be using the system. this is
how pppd authenticates. There is more info in your manpages.

If you know about all that, then perhaps the other side is sending a domain
name with pptp.. it doesnt look like it from your logs though..

also, use a * for IP address in teh chap-secrets file, and it will allow
connections from any IP.
