[pptp-server] PPTP as WEP replacement

[Kyle Hodgson]

In an environment where one doesn't care about tracking individual users,
and where one doesn't care about users having access to the same resources
at the other end of a tunnel- is it safe to give them all the same vpn
username and password?

Is it safe is too vague.  What I mean is, if I give 100 people the same
username and password, will they be able to easily snoop each other's
connections once a tunnel is established?

What I'm trying to do is replace the badly broken WEP protocol in a wireless
network.  I don't mind that everyone can get access to the tunnel, no
problem.  The only thing on the other end of the tunnel is a DSL connection,
one that they could access normally.  If I could introduce a reasonable
deterrent (better than WEP) against eavesdropping just by installing pptp
and having everyone use the same username and password, that would solve
certain management issues.
