[pptp-server] user authentification

[R. de Vroede]

It should be possible, but it would imply patching ppp authentication,
much like the patch for smb-auth (which is also non-plaintext). So you
would have to rip the authentication mechanism out of a NIS-library and
patch it into ppp, or something like that. Maybe there is an unofficial
patch out the. Google is your friend.

Richard
