[pptp-server] Samba and PPTP

[Gordon Smith]

Well, 128 bit connections are now working successfully.
Browsing is still a problem, however.

Some things that may help others:
1. The README is incorrect with regards to the files to add to the kernel for
compilation. As well as the rc4 files, there are a couple of others. Not a big
issue, since watching the compilation errors will tell you what you need to add.
2. If you're not in the US, you will only get 40-bit encryption (export version
of Windows clients). This can be upgraded - download the 128-bit patch from
http://www.zedz.net  -  it used to be replay.com

Getting browsing working across a tunnel is an ordeal. I made a silly mistake -
assuming I needed to allow port 47, when in actual fact GRE is what needed to
be opened up on our router (protocol 47, not port 47).

I'm now establishing 128-bit connections, but cannot see the internal network.
The pptp daemon is running on the firewall. The firewall has one NIC, with 2
addresses bound to it. An internal server runs Samba, and an authorative DNS
for the internal network. When trying to browse, pppd throws up a lot of
"unsupported protocol" errors in the logs.

Any ideas?
