[pptp-server] Authentication and Firewall Issues

[Ryan Matijcio]

Another thing to try as well.

I did take a look at the man page for pppd about loading an alternate
options file:

---
file name
              Read   options   from  file  name  (the  format  is
              described below).  The file must be readable by the
              user who has invoked pppd.
---

Any ideas as to what I should have in my options file for pptp?

ah, it's probably because 'rmatijcio' is more than 8 characters long.  You
must limit yourself to 8 characters, I believe...

something to try, at least.
