[pptp-server] Authentication fails against password encrypted

[Murali K. Vemuri]

well...
i have two quick check points here.

1.from the CHAP rfc (1994) ,
"chap needs that the password be in the plain text format."
" one way encryption algorithms like md5 cannot be used with chap"

2. use the option "chapms-strip-domain" in your /etc/ppp/options file.

cheers
