I was setting up a VPN using E-smith 4.1.1 and noticed something very odd. E-smith would authenticate and user, even users that do not exist in the e-smith server. Obviously there is something wrong. Has anyone encountered the same problem ?
details:
WinNT workstaion Client
E-smith 4.1.1 Server
Dedicated Cable connections for both
