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 -- passwords > 8 characters cannot authenticate https://launchpad.net/bugs/88604 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
