Hi again,

I've configured FreeRADIUS to work with NTLM_AUTH. Now my freeradius logs
are ok and is autheticating without clear password (I'm gonna generate some
howto to post here). But I still can't connect over PPTP. There's no problem
with FreeRadius but my OSX says: "Authentication failure".

I guess the problem is in pfSense's PPTP package. How can I track errors ?
I've read the /var/log/vpn.log but it only gives me the successfully
connections i've made without using freeradius.

Thanks in advance
