[pptp-server] Setting up a pptp server

[George Vieira]

I have RedHat 6.2 and upgraded my kernel to 2.2.17 from 2.2.16-3 and used
the instructions at
http://www.vibres.com/pptpd/example.html

Worked well for me. Don't downgrade your PPP to 2.3.8 but use the latest or
2.3.11

I\'m quite new to this so please be patient to me. 

I\'v sett up a RedHat 6.1 box runnning 2.2.17 and ipchains as a firewall for
a internal
10.0.0.1 net. I want to connect to the firewall somewhere on the internet
and be able to 
se all the \"internal\" machines, mount their disks an log on the W2k domain
thats
inside there.

After spending some time reading manny FAQ\'s and HOWTO\'s I\'m still a
little confused. 
Can someone please tell me if this is the right way to manage this. 

Get the source for ppp 2.3.8.
Get the source for SSLeya
Get the some kind of patch for ppp.

Aply the patches on ppp, and then compile it. 

I\'m currently running ppp 2.3.10-1 and have succeed installing the pptpd
RPM. 

When I try connecting to the server (with all the ipchains wide open) I get
several errors
such as

No free connection slots ot IPs - no more can connect. 
peer refused  to authenticate: terminating link


Can someone please help me with some bright ideas to sett this upp and to
config ipchains 
to accept the connections.
