PPPD plugin development

[Greg <gregborbonus@gmail.com>]

hey guys,

as stated before, I'm trying to write a plugin to authenticate against 
an external script. So far, I've only managed to get it to write a bit 
information to a log file on the server.

I'm trying to use the digest->code to determine the type of digest used. 
I figured that if I can find out which type it's using then I could then 
move forward with converting it or determining how to store the 
encrypted password to do a comparison.

I've also made it return 1 so that no matter what I enter, it should 
show authenticated.

digest->code writes as blank.
When using it as a switch->case scenario, it goes to default:
switch (digest->code) {
         case CHAP_MICROSOFT:
         {
           codemess = "MIC";
         }
         case CHAP_MICROSOFT_V2:
         {
           codemess = "MV2";
         }
         default:
           codemess = "Default";
}


The return 1 appears to work, but then I get the message:
MPPE required, but keys are not available.  Possible plugin problem?


I REALLY wish this was a documented better. Though I code in other 
scripting languages, C is not something I'm used to coding. So please 
feel free to give me a hard time, I'm muddling my way through C just to 
get the basics right.
