I just happen to be looking into vpn stuff with FreeBSD, I was looking at
the man page for ppp, there is a section that states passwd(5) can be used
instead of a secret file. Not sure if this entirely relates to your setup,
but I will be trying this out
/*
If MyAuthPasswd is a ``*'', the password is looked up in the passwd(5)
database.

Subject: Samba PDC with VPN access
We have a Samba PDC on FreeBSD 7.0-release. The goal is to make users home
drrives accessible throuth a VPN connection from Windows clients. Until
now
I have experimented with the Poptop server without much success and now
have
a working configuration based on Mpd4. This is not ideal, since I have to
keep usernames/passwords manually updated in the mpd.secret file. And that
can not be combined with users changing their own Samba and UNIX passwords
via password sync.
It seems that some kind of authentication via Winbind and ntml_auth would
be
a way to go.
Maybe it can be done by installing a Radius server to communicate with
Mpd,
but that seems to be unnessesarily complicated.
Does anyone know the "best" solution to achieve the goal?
Regards,
Jon Theil Nielsen
