Install version 1.1.2 to save you hassles now and later.
Also the client appears to be having problems creating a socket for
connection. Possible there isn't enough PTYs to use.. or possible this is a
real socket.. others here may object.
What version/distro of linux is the client as I think this is the first
problem part?

Hi, I'm new on list and to VPN that has not already been setup by
someone else.
I have installed the pptp server and the pptp-linux client on a client,
but I can't get a connection, that is a working one.
I get this error message from the server:
-----
Dec 12 12:58:49 server pptpd[2643]: CTRL: Client X.X.X.X control
connection started
Dec 12 12:58:49 server pptpd[2643]: CTRL: EOF or bad error reading ctrl
packet length.
Dec 12 12:58:49 server pptpd[2643]: CTRL: couldn't read packet header
(exit)
Dec 12 12:58:49 server pptpd[2643]: CTRL: CTRL read failed
-----
and from the client, wheter I only put the hostname or any of the other
pppd options as a paramete:
-----
warn[open_unixsock:pptp_callmgr.c:308]: Call manager for Y.Y.Y.Y is
already running.
fatal[callmgr_main:pptp_callmgr.c:124]: Could not open unix socket for
Y.Y.Y.Y
fatal[launch_callmgr:pptp.c:213]: Call manager exited with error 256
-----
The main two things that I can't understand is thet the client says that
a call manager is already running, because the client exits and leaves
no running or hanging processes (and I have waited for netstat to report
that the 1723 port is not in use) and the second is that the server says
that is gets a bad EOF/error reading what ever the client is sending.
Does anyone have any suggestions to what it might be ?
my first server was pptp version 1.1.1 but problem is exactly the same
with 1.0.0 version. Pptp-linux version is 1.0.2.
Any help appriciated
