[VPN] pptp CHAP authentication fails

["Arun Raghavan" <arunisgod gmail com>]

Hello,
I've been having trouble getting my pptp connection up on
NetworkManager. Starting it up on the console works, but CHAP
authentication fails when I use NM. I am certain the password is
write. PPTP debug output below. Could someone help, please?

I'm using NetworkManager-0.6.6, and
NetworkManager-pptp-0.1.0_p20070726 on Gentoo.
