[pptp-server] LINUX

[Ryan Matijcio]

Hi Alan,

One problem I can see with a Linux pptp server in a large NT enviroment is
account management.  I can see it being a real nightmare maintaining the
chap-secrets file (the one that maintains the username and password for the
vpn accounts.)  As far as I've read there is nothing to handle this.  In NT
you can easily just turn PPTP on or off for an account in user manager.

However for my own purposes I really like what I've seen so far with Linux
and pptpd.  I'd urge you to take a look.  (This comming from an MCSE too!
:-)

It appears I am on the wrong list (blush).  This is a dedicated Linux list ?
Does anyone know of a Windows NT list.    Is Linux easier to configure then
NT ?  Also are you able to configure a Linux pptp gateway so that it can
forward ip packets to an NT file server ?
