Before I head down this path, I just wanted to confirm that this will allow
me to connect
Windows clients to windows servers, correct? I assume I'll need to enable
Samba as well as PPTP on the linux box? I am basically looking for the linux
box to simply provide the connection, and let the windows server to provide
the authentication.
