Package: pptp-linux
Version: 1.7.2-6
Severity: normal
I was using a randomly-generated password that happened to have a
quotation mark (") in it (let's pretend it was: sek"rit). I entered it
as requested by pptpsetup.
it stored it in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets like this:
dkg remoteendpoint "sek"rit" *
and this failed to sync properly with the pptp server listening at
remoteendpoint:
.....
rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x0 magic=0x5af09778]
rcvd [CHAP Failure id=0x1 "E=691 R=0 M=Login incorrect"]
MS-CHAP authentication failed: Login incorrect
CHAP authentication failed
sent [LCP TermReq id=0x2 "Failed to authenticate ourselves to peer"]
.....
switching my password to one that does not use a " character (and
updating /etc/ppp/chap-secrets by hand) allowed me to successfully
authenticate.
