[ILUG] VPN Server

[Dave Airlie]

I've setup PPTP stuff on Linux firewalls for a couple of places..work
well.. win2k comes with support built in for them ... you just need to
grab an updated ppp daemon, pptp stuff and add the a/cs on PAP files, I
noticed one issue, that was quick to get around..

if the a/c was airlied in domain test, I had to add secrets for

airlied
TEST\airlied
TEST\\airlied

to get all combos of Win98, 2k working ..

apart from that it was piss easy and worked fairly quickly ..

Dave.
