PPTP Change



All,

I have my NetworkManager-pptp working now but I had to make one change in the source get it to authenticate. We use mschapv2 at my workplace and when the credentials were being passed to the server, it was failing. The problem was that it was passing the username as DOMAIN\\USERNAME which doesn't work. After a bit of playing with wireshark, I was able to deduce the username should be sent DOMAIN\USERNAME. When I changed it, it worked.

Now, I know almost nothing about this stuff so I suspect this isn't the best solution since I'm sure other people are using it this way. But, I'm providing the patch for what I did to make it work for me in hopes that someone more knowledgeable can come up with a better solution.
