I wonder if I am seeing the problem mentioned here http://old.nabble.com/samba-3.2-breaks-ppp-winbind-plugin-td18715806.html. I can connect a WIndows PPTP client just fine if using chap-secrets, but when I use the winbind plugin, the client says that it can not authenticate the server (both are on the same domain). They said it was resolved in 3.2, but we are using 3.4.3. Is it possible this bug reappeared? Thanks, Robert LeBlanc Life Sciences & Undergraduate Education Computer Support Brigham Young University
