cover ppp authentication bug fixes

Here are a couple bug fixes for the PPP authentication. First patch fixes the seg fault when the secret is empty, as reported by marcel. Second, if we do fail to authenticate, we need to change ppp phases to terminate the link.

Kristen Carlson Accardi (2):
ppp: allow empty secret for chap challenge
ppp: send PPP_FAIL when authentication fails

PATCH 1/2 ppp: allow empty secret for chap challenge

Just do a checksum over the identifier if we have an empty password for our chap secret.

I am still not seeing patch 1/2. Can you re-sent both patches.

Regards
