Package: pptpd
Version: 1.3.4
When using RADIUS plugin in pppd, it send Caller-Station-ID attribuse to
radius server. But pppd needs to know remote user IP.
To send Caller-Station-ID information for radius server, pppd using
information (if provided) from "remotenumber" command line option.
Withowt it, pppd don't send any information about remote user IP to
radiuis server. I created very small path to pptpd. When starting pppd
it add "remotenumber" command line option. I'm already using this patch
many years in my ISP platform and it's working great !
Just a 2 additional lines in source code makes life mutch easy !!!
Please, consider to include this patch in distribution.

No other workaround I know to make pppd sending Caller-Station-ID for
radius server without remotenumber command line argument.
Thank you.
