Actually, you do NOT need the strip domain patch. You can use the
smbpasswd file for quthenticating with or without that patch. It
makes life easier WITH it, but by no means is it REQUIRED.

Glenn, if you like, you can get the following patch from my site;
http://linus.yi.org/linux/smbpw-mppe-stripdom-requiremppe.diff.bz2

You should also go to http://linus.yi.org/, and click on the tab for
the PPP page to read the instructions there.

libsmbpw is available there as well...


Glenn, you have to compile in two additional patches into ppp when
you build 
it.

1) pppsmb.pat - This patch allows you to authenticate using list from
/etc/smbpasswd.

2) strip-MSdomain-patch.diff - This patch strips off the preceeding 
DOMAINNAME from DOMAINNAME\\username that Windoze clients send, 
frustratingly enough.  Is it imparitive that the DOMAINNAME/WORKGROUP
be 
parsed off before smbpasswd can be used for authentication.

Also, you will need libsmbpw.so source.  This library is required for
SMB 
authentication.  Just download the tarball, untar it, make it, then
the 
remaining instructions on where to put the ".so" file and the link
are 
included.  I put them in /usr/lib on my Redhat 6.2 installation.
