Reassigned to ppp, as that actually does the authentication.

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: pptpd
+ Binary package hint: ppp
  
  When using pptpd with a Windows XP client, I've found users who have a
  password length of greater than 8 characters in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
  are unable to authenticate successfully.
  
  When the password is truncated in the chap-secrets file and the user
  enters the new 8 character password, authentications succeeds.
  
  I have not as yet attempted to reproduce this problem with Linux or
  MacOS X clients.
  
  If this is a feature, not a bug, it should perhaps be documented in the
  sample chap-secrets file;-)

** Changed in: pptpd (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: pptpd => ppp
