[pptp-server] PTY??

[Rod Gotty]

The documentation says that I need to make sure my kernel is compiled with
PTY support.  What is PTY support and what options in the kernel do I need
to modify.  I'm using the kernel that came with RedHat-6.0 - do I need to
change the config and recompile or is there a system configuration I need
to worry about?

Also, after running pptpd and monitoring its log file and seeing that it
failed to open ttyp1 - I chmod +rw /dev/ttyp[0-9] and it seemed to work
somewhat.  But, after I rebooted, I had to do this again.  Is this normal?

Thanks
