I've gone back through and read the latest posts. Unless I missed it, I have 
only seen two other discussions on Dialup Admin, and that was a bad link to 
download it, and a blank password for Mikrotik.

I read the PAP - CHAP thread, if that is what I "hijacked" my apologies. I 
see that as related, maybe, but the real issue was with where Dialup Admin 
was telling it how to store a password. I worked all day on Dialup Admin and 
just overlooked it. And as I stated, was just looking for someone to point 
me in the right direction since I was going to be out of the office for a 
couple of days and wanted to hit the ground running when I returned to work.

Feeling it had to be a Dialup Admin issue, I looked through the admin.conf 
again this morning. For people searching the archives, here was the line I 
missed:

#
# can be one of crypt,md5,clear
#
general_encryption_method: clear

Change the above line from crypt to clear. This is located under this 
section:

general_auth_request_file:

The "general_auth_request_file" threw me off a little. I was thinking 
"password" at the time.


Thanks,
