[pptp-server] Authentication and Firewall Issues

On the subject of authentication, I thought that I'd seen in the
documentation that the domain part of the usename supplied by a win machine
( DOMAIN\\username ) was removed at the pptpd side.  Did I miss a patch
somewhere, or is this not the case?  It would be far easier for me to add
users if I didn't have to know what the DOMAIN\\ would be when they
connected (this is utterly useless, it seems.  Why wouldn't MS just pass a
username/password?  I know... I know...).  As it is, I have to have them
connect to the server, then look through the logs to find the rejected
username, then go back to chap-secrets and add their DOMAIN\\.  Ugh...

Anyone know how to force the removal of that
godforsaken-absolutley-unnecessary-ridiculous-just-make-it-go-away prefix??

um... this doesn't give you any hints?? :)

Add an appropriate line in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets.
