yeah sure, I knew I forgot something (to post) :) my chap-secrets looks like

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets

# INBOUND CONNECTIONS #client hostname <password> 192.168.1.1 "test" * "account" *

Comment out the "test" entry and add a real account. Something like:

marc linux1 )> ip.addressed.you.want

Then you should be able to log in.

Thanks for your help, it was a silly mistake on my side. the link I used to test the connection was nat'ed. The vpn works like a charm now :) marc
