OK, quick authentication questions...
Are the following statements true or false:
1) Using libsmbpw.so in conjunction with pppsmb.pat patch will force a
client to send their password encrypted.
2) Using only chap-secrets without authenticating from smbpasswd will force
a client to send their password plain-text.
3) Forcing an encrypted password from the client will force pptpd to decrypt
it before authenticating with chap-secrets.
4) My password flies across the vast Internet cloud plain text when I use
chap-secrets vs SMB password-encryption authentication.
I do like plugging up that libsmbpw blank username/password thing by using
chap-secrets instead - but not at the expense of sending my passwords
plain-text for others to snag. Should I be worried?
Thx. Dreadly.
