Looking at where this is nested inside various if statements, I do not think this error did too much harm - only to the $mac['descr'] - in this particular code flow $username is not used for important stuff after this point.

The password field shows the little lock icon, but the text input area
starts over the top of the icon and as I type in the field the password
"dots" go over the lock icon in each of these data entry places.
Changing the field name/id to not be "password" but to be "passwordfld",
"passwordfld1" "passwordfld2" and the like fixes it. Something does not
like the field being called just "password".
In interfaces.php I also changed the field "username" to be
"ppp_username". This standardized it to work in a similar way to
pppoe_username pptp_username fields. It looks easier to understand for
me.
These are places in the GUI where the cursor sits not in the far left
side of the input box and there is odd-looking white space to the left
of the cursor. Normally there would be a little input graphic in the
white space to the left of the cursor (a pencil, a computer screen, a
lock symbol...)
This change makes the pencil be displayed in all those places.
In most places in the GUI a little pencil symbol appears before text input fields. For example it already appears for the Host, Domain and Description fields in this very form when you "Enter additional names for this host."
But in the main 4 fields of this form, the pencil does not display.
This fixes it to be the same as elsewhere.
I guess this is the "standard" supposed to be used. If so, then I will find the other places where class="formfld unknown" has the "unknown" missing.
In 2.2 when I go to Diagnostics->Authentication the password field shows the little lock icon, but the text input area starts over the top of the icon and as I type in the field the password "dots" go over the lock icon.
This does not happen in 2.1.5 - the password entry cursor sits after the lock icon. This problem is also not evident on most other password entry fields in 2.2
I stared at it for a while, then saw that in other places the password field is not literally called "password", so I thought what the heck, I will change the field name - it fixed the display issue!!! What???
Anyway, this fixes the display issue on my system. If someone knows really why having the field name/id="password" is a problem then they could fix the underlying reason - but this works around whatever is the issue.
If you think this is an OK fix then I will also find the couple of other places swhere this happens and make the same "fix".
