[pptp-server] Error during connection with pptpd

[Brian 0. Roy]

Hey Guys,

       Hopefully someone here can help me with my problem.

I first had a RedHat 6.0 box that I have been running fine for about 6
months. It had pptpd running great, and to the best of my knowledge, it
was very easy to install. Well we got new hardware to replace that box,
so we decided to go ahead and upgrade to RH 6.1. After completeing most
of the initial setup I found time to load poptop. I decided to use the
RPM package this time. Everything seemed to install fine and no failed
dependencies.
Time to test.... I started trying to test with my clients, and
authentication was failing, and connections failing. So I took off any
authentication. Now I get the same error as you can see down below.

Well I have been disgusted with RPM's in the past, so I uninstalled it,
and went the compiled route. One thing I did notice about the rpm was
that it put the pptpd in /usr/sbin/ rather than /usr/local/sbin. Put the
program seemed to work. After doing the make install, I seemed to be in
worse shape. It didn't get as far as the rpm version did.

So I thought maybe it was the ppp version I had on it. I then unistalled
the ppp version that was on there, and downgraded to 2.3.7-2 And still
recieving the same error.
Hopefully someone can look at the error below and maybe know what is
going on...

If anyone needs more information please email me, and I can provide. I
have spent more hours on this than I need to :/

Thanks in advance,
Brian O Roy
