Quick set-up overview:
Sorry if this is a stupid problem, but I have limited LINUX experience.
@Home using: RH 6.1, PPTPD v1.0.0, PPTP client v1.0.2, PPPD v2.3.10
IP Address: 1.1.1.1 of Linux Client, & pptpd server
Remote Server: 2.2.2.2 running NT Server 4.0 RAS
I am having a great deal of trouble getting either end to work properly.
When connecting with the Linux client, I always get the error message that
the remote client should authenticate itself. I am pretty sure that I have
set-up the /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file correctly. Here is a snip from the
log file:
Feb 9 00:10:56 Tigerden pppd[696]: The remote system (2.2.2.2) is required
to authenticate itself but I
Feb 9 00:10:56 Tigerden pppd[696]: couldn't find any suitable secret
(password) for it to use to do so.
I also receive this error when I connect using the Linux client:
Feb 9 00:03:22 Tigerden pppd[665]: In file /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized
option '+chapms'
The previous message will also repeat with +chapms-v2, mppe-40.
When I attempt to connect with my NT client I always receive an "error 629:
The data link was terminated by the remote machine."
I have include my /etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets files....If
anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client server secret IP
addresses
2.2.2.2 1.1.1.1 ******** *
<------------ LINUX PPTPD server
workgroup\\administrator 2.2.2.2 ********
* <------------ remote NT PPTP server
I am pretty sure where I made the error in the chap-secrets file, I am
simply hoping that someone would confirm that.
# Options File snip:

+chap

+chapms
+chapms-v2
mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless
I understand the localip is the interface which pptpd will listen for
incoming connections, while the remote ip option is for addressing purposes
to those clients connecting right?
pptpd.conf file snip:
# TAG: option
#
# Specifies the location of the PPP options file.
# By default PPP looks in '/etc/ppp/options'
#
#option /this/is/the/options/file
#
localip 1.1.1.1
remoteip 10.0.0.168
