No such thing in the code, so False

>2) Using only chap-secrets without authenticating from smbpasswd will force

>a client to send their password plain-text.

False, you have it backwards, Chap is encrypted

>3) Forcing an encrypted password from the client will force pptpd to
decrypt 
>it before authenticating with chap-secrets.

False, PPTPD is just a carrier, it takes a packet off the GRE tunnel, and
hands it to pppd, then it gets packets from pppd, and sends them across the
tunnel.

>4) My password flies across the vast Internet cloud plain text when I use 
>chap-secrets vs SMB password-encryption authentication.

False, Its in a hash
