[pptp-server] PPTP linux client with PoPToP

[Alaa Alamood]

Hi

I have configure my client as the following


1- get a copy of linux pptp client
2- install ppp with mschap 128 bit supported
3- Client configuration
    - Edit and make the /etc/ppp/option  look like:
            noauth
            lock
            debug
            kdebug 7
            name snow.netman.dk
            user YOUR_USER_NAME
            password YOUR_PASSWORD
            noauth
            +chapms
            +chapms-v2
            mppe-40
            mppe-128
            mppe-stateless
            lcp-echo-failure 10
            lcp-echo-interval 5
            defaultroute
            allow-ip 193.88.72.38
            logfile /var/log/log.options


        Note: you can remove debug, kdebug and logfile after you get every
thing working  correct.


    - copy /usr/doc/ppp.2.3.10/scripts/ip-down.local.add  to
/etc/ppp/ip-down.loacl
    - copy   /usr/doc/ppp-2.3.10/scripts/ip-up.local.add to
/etc/ppp/ip-up.loacl
    -  touch /var/log/log.options   (you can remove this file when you
have every thing done).
    - edit chap-secret file and add
    - enabling the debug
            - add the line below to /etc/syslog.conf

               daemon.debug
/var/log/pptp.log

            - touch  /var/log/pptp.log
            - restarting syslog daemon
                     /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog stop
                     /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog start

     - Manul connection (just for test resone)
            - pptp  PPTP_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS name YOUR_USER_NAME remotename
PPTP_SERVER_NAME
            - route add -host PPTP_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS  gw
YOUR_GATEWAY_IP_ADDRESS


     - check you connections is made
            ps -ef |grep pptp
