Hi,

I have been trying to get this product to work, but without any luck.
The problem is when I connect to the system and try to authenticate it
disconnects.
The following is reported in the log file:

Apr 22 18:13:38 hermsen pptpd[7393]: CTRL: Client 212.187.48.164 control

ion finished.
What could I be forgetting to do?

I'm running RedHat 6.1 and SSLeay-0.9.0b and pptpd-1.0.0.

Regards,
John
