[pptp-server] modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-<x>

[Emir Toktar]

ERROR:
Jul  2 17:30:03 ape modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
Jul  2 17:30:03 ape modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26
Jul  2 17:30:03 ape modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24


You can then edit the /etc/conf.modules file and add alias:
alias ppp-compress-18 ppp_mppe
alias ppp-compress-21 slhc
alias ppp-compress-24 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate

This will auto load the encryption stuff. There are entries that will also
get the other two, but I can't recall which is which. One of them will get
two ppp-compress-xx messages to go away.
