[pptp-server] problem with mppe patch on pppd

[Rick Matlock]

This was posted last month sometime (before I was on the list).

I have included it again maybe to make life easier to someone else:

I fixed my problem with ppp_mppe.o, though I am still not sure why I had
problems, and others seem not to.  The instructions call for copying
rc4.h and rc4_enc.c, but I also had to copy rc4_locl.h.  I found the
header for RC4_set_key in rc4_skey.c, so I copied that file, and added
an include for it in ppp_mppe.c.

that's an easy one.. there are a couple of extra files you need to get
if
you get the rc4 files from a different distro than is mentioned in
readme.mppe. I forget what they are, but look through the archives, and
i'll see what i can do about getting this note added to teh main install
guide.
