For the 15th birthday of this bug ;-) I don't use PPTP in my server installations anymore - not only, but also due to this bug. Therefore I can't provide an upstream bug report.

Status in network-manager-pptp package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp Hi! I try to connect to a Win 2003 server via PPTP VPN with Networkmanager (gnome). It works with pptpconfig but not with NM. Syslog: May 16 00:58:54 andreas-laptop pptp[7183]: anon warn[ctrlp_disp:pptp_ctrl.c:955]: Non-zero Async Control Character Maps are not supported! May 16 00:58:54 andreas-laptop pppd[7178]: nm-pppd-plugin: CHAP credentials requested. May 16 00:58:54 andreas-laptop pppd[7178]: MS-CHAP authentication failed: E=691 Authentication failure May 16 00:58:54 andreas-laptop pppd[7178]: CHAP authentication failed I had to write the password in quotation marks in pptpconfig as it contains special characters like &%$. I tried it with "" and without it in NM. But it doesn't work - so NM is not good for strong passwords??? Anyone confirm this issue?
