[pptp-server] mschap password

[Adam Tauno Williams]

> Is that the same for the linux client

PPP does the actual authentication, and since these patches/changes
all attack auth.c (mostly) in the PPP source tree I imagine that
they would work for the client as well.  They were all created with
the service side in mind (I think), and I haven't tried it on the
client.
