[pptp-server] Chap secrets not found

[Chris Herrmann]

Gday all,

having some fun with poptop and a win98 client...

when the client tries to connect, i get:

Oct 17 17:42:16 dragon pptpd[5303]: CTRL: Client 192.168.33.27 control

The client sees "username/password failed".

ppp0 is a real modem connected to the internet.

The client's hostname is ELINAC, username elinac,

in chap-secrets, i've tried pretty much every combination i can think of for
authentication:
elinac		*		secret	*
elinac  		elinac	secret 	*
ELINAC\\elinac	elinac	secret      *
ELINAC\\\\elinac	elinac	secret	*

elinac  		localhost	secret	*

elinac  		dragon	secret	*
ELINAC\\elinac  	dragon	secret	*
ELINAC\\\\elinac	dragon	secret	*

elinac  		dragon.myplace.com.au  secret	*
ELINAC\\elinac	dragon.myplace.com.au  secret	*
ELINAC\\\\elinac	dragon.myplace.com.au  secret	*
