[Samba] Authenticating PPTP users against Samba/LDAP

[Ilia Chipitsine]

I'm already running such configuration:

freeradius + mpd (vpn server on FreeBSD) + samba

the keyword here is RADIUS server.
freeradius is a good one.

if You are running FreeBSD, I can help You with mpd configuration.

Cheers,
Ilia Chipitsine
