# I'm trying to get access to my company's VPN server, which is MS VPN. I've
# been using the PPTP v1.02 client, and it looks like it successfully contacts
# the VPN server, but authentication fails. The VPN client for my MS box has
# the "Require Secure Password" checkbox, but on my Linux laptop, the
# chap-secrets file does not have encrypted passwords. Does anyone know if
# there is something that I need to do in the chap-secrets file to make this
# work?
I have been hassling with this same situation for about 3 weeks. Finally came
up on Friday night after numerous complaints to the VPN administrator. Seems
permissions had to be adjusted at the VPN secure gateway. You might want to
inquire at that end.
