Does anyone have a nice simple HOWTO on how to add encryption to the

As a side note: have you considered that using the encryption in pptp
forces you to store userpasswords in cleartext? For my ISP [1] that was
a reason not to use pptp's encryption, especially since MS-CHAPv2
contains known security holes [2].
Yes, unfortunately, for our predominant workstation (Win98), M$'s
PPTP client is ubiquitous and other solutions are not necessarily so
commonly deployed.

for now, to only allow himself and one other to even have accounts on
the box with the cleartext passwds)
