[pptp-server] Using ppp with PAM to authenticate against a NT PDC

[Justin Kreger]

 You cannot do any sort of encrypted Authentication using the PAM_SMB mod.
I have talked with one of the people on the samba-tng team, and it is
possible to take pppd, and go beoynd what i did with intergrating libvalid.
We could write a patch that passes the authentication on in a sence. (I was
going to do this, but it's on the back burner at the moment)

Also, microsoft wrote an RFC detailing how to do MSChap with RADIUS.

This configuration should be fine as I'm running this setting in our
network without problem.
However instead of using MCHAP, I use pap and "required encrypted
password" enabled on client setting.
