Hi folks, I'm using the PPTP server (PopTop) v1.1.4b4 on redHat (kernel 2.4.8....). Currently, all my user+ passwd combinations are stored in the /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file. I'm looking to not use this file, but instead use some other user database. Question: 1. Can the PPTP server authenticate against any of the following: - Radius server - LDAP server - any 3rd party RDBMS - Unix users on the Redhat system (would this be PAM ?) Appreciate any pointers! Thanks, -AA
