pptpd does not do authentication, it passes that part off to pppd.  If
you have a pppd server that can authenticate (and accept IP assignments)
from a RADIUS server, that's all you need.  Note that, in order to
support MPPE encryption in pptp, you must be able to do MSCHAPv2
authentication over RADIUS.  As far as I know, the software to do this
does not yet exist for Unix, although I'm currently hacking on Linux
pppd and freeradiusd to provide this support.
