ok, i feel like a real idiot for having to ask this, so spare the flames,
i already feel bad enough ;)
i'm runnin redhat linux kernel 2.2.5, with PPP support..
whenever i attempt to start the server, it gives me that message.. i've
checked my inetd.conf, and it isnt using that port anywhere, nor does it
show up in netstat -a.
i'm thinking that i may be a configuration problem, however, i haven't
found enough documentation on the conf's to really tell for sure..
here is how they currently look:
/etc/pptpd.conf
<snip>
localip 10.10.10.1-10 #these are the addresses im using for my int. lan
remoteip 198.243.125.1-254 #these are the addies that connections
will be coming in on (im assuming?)
/etc/ppp/options
lock
debug
name servername
auth
require-chap
proxyarp
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client server secret IP addresses
----
this is an area that led to a little bit of confusion on my part.. in the
HOWTO, it said:
billy severname bob *
now, i left this out, because i figured it had nothing to do with my
configuration, and was simply there as an example, but i'm kind of in the
dark.
I'm *quite* new to PPTP in general, and somewhat (6 months or so) new to
linux in general, so any help that could be offered would be GREATLY
appreciated!
Thanks!
