Are you trying to do "rpm -e pptpd-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm"?
If so you need to run "rpm -e pptpd", should work..
If that still didn't work or you just want to make sure it can't run
then edit /etc/inittab and with put a # in front of or delete the
line that you see that looks something like:
pptp:35:respawn:/usr/sbin/pptpd -f
If it was in there you will probably need to turn it off now,
the easiest way would be to reboot the machine, if this is not
possible type "ps -ef" should find a line in there something like this:
root XXXX 1 0 16:54 ?	00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pptpd -f
pptpd being what you want to look for...
where XXXX will be a number then type "kill -9 ####" to shutup
the pptpd daemon and all is good...
i might have made this too simple, but i wanted to try covering all the
bases... most was from my head so if i screwed something up just let me
know,

I'm sorry, I should have mentioned in my first email that the rpm mgr is
telling me that package is not installed...

How can I manually disable it?
