Am I correct in assuming that you were referring to an inbound pptp
connection on 4.1. I am using 4.1b2 and have checked the logs and it crashes
on "/etc/ppp/ppp.secret" - "directory or file not exist"
Yet when I refer to the How-To it directd me to the "chap-secrets". I am
going to play with the templates and the 'option' files to see what happens.
All other things seem to work fine.
