Hi list, I just finnished setting up a PPP server to dial into the office's internal network. The final objective of this is to have pppd authenticate users against the internal Windows 2000 DC (yeah, I hate it), so that the on call operator can log into the network using his own userid and password. So far, pam_smb works (as reported from the system logs), but pppd's PAP authentication (which seems to be required by Windows 2000 Dial-up Networking) does not use PAM, so I have to fill up pap-secrets with the users' passwords IN CLEAR TEXT. Besides the security implications of having passwords in clear in a file (even protected by permissions), I don't have the users' passwords, and wouldn't like to go around asking for them (I shouldn't do it), and would have to edit the file each time an operator changes his password.
Now, does anyone know if I can bypass this brain-dead PAP stuff? Either have it use PAM to verify password validity, or have Win2K not use PAP for authentication would serve. I've spent a good part of the afternoon googling to no avail. Any help will br most apreciated.
