[pptp-server] System lacks kernel support for PPP

[tmk]

make sure you installed pppd properly.. in addition to the mppe patches, pppd needs to do some kernel patching of its own for the 2.0.x kernels

  Dear Linux Users,

  Has anybody had any experience installing pptp "PoPToP v1.0.0" on a Red Hat Linux 5.2 with a kernel version 2.0.36. I have installed and upgraded pppd to version 2.3.8. The kernel supports modules. FYI the followings are the packages I have used:

  PoPToP v1.0.0
  ppp-2.3.8.tar.gz
  ppp-2.3.8-mppe- others-norc4_TH7.diff.gz
  SSLeay-0.6.6b.tar.gz

  Kernel shows the followings for the "Loadable module support --->"
  [*] Enable loadable module support
  [*] Set version information on all symbols for modules
  [*] Kernel daemon support (e.g. atuoload of modules)

  When I try to connect from a Win98 machine, I'll get the following errors appeared on the Win98:

  "Error 629: You have been disconnected from the computer you dialed. Double click the connection to try again."

  And at the same time the following messages appear on the Linux box:

  [root at vpn sbin]# /usr/sbin/pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check t

  I have tried `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp' and have gotten the followings:

  [root at vpn sbin]# /sbin/modprobe -v ppp
  /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/preferred/net/slhc.o
  /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o

  /lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ppp.o: unresolved symbol n_tty_ioctl_Rd6f6ea07
  [root at vpn sbin]#

  Any ideas? Your help, pointers, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Regards,
