Some people have talked to the Stac Electronics people with no success. Drop me a line if you want their email addresses. There was a discussion on freebsd-hackers recently about this. As for ``Microsoft PPC'', I can't seem to find an RFC for that :-| If anyone could rustle one up, I'd certainly try to add support !

Not at the moment I'm afraid. I've got an entry in my TODO list to remove the ``enable passwdauth'' command and implement smarter password parsing where PAP can have encrypted passwords in ppp.secret and passwords of "*" are looked up in the real password database. > > > 3) Ppp makes an utmp entry with wrong tty-line, is this a bug? > > > > Sounds like it - can you give more details ?

I think the problem is that NT (pre patch kit 3) couldn't do real MD5 (with a `type' of 0x05). Instead it did a combination of MD4 and DES (with a `type' of 0x80). So the bit that doesn't work properly is a FreeBSD box requiring CHAP authentication from a pre NT4 patch 3 client. > Regards, > -- > Ruslan Ermilov System Administrator > ru@ucb.crimea.ua United Commercial Bank > +380-652-247647 Simferopol, Crimea > 2426679 ICQ Network, UIN Cheers. -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
