You don't need to have anything in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (pptpd will be using
chaps).
The chap-secrets (i hate to use the word, but can't think of a better way)
space delimited.. (ouch)
in that ppp will read what you have as client=test, server=test, secret= ,IP
addresses= .
put asterisks * instead, so that it reads:
test	*	test	*
which would be client=test, server=* (anything), secret=test, IP Addresses=*
(it will then be
assigned from pptpd.conf)
