System: x86
OS: Solaris
PPTP: 1.0.0
Issue: Daemon not staying up
I was trying to set up a solaris system to act as a
pptp server. Though when pptp is lauched manually
everything works great. However when a client
disconnects, pptpd dies............
Reviewing the documentation I found that it is
suggested to use pptpctrl when using inetd. Pursuing
this I found a man page error. There is an invocation
example with option enabled and one without, however
both examples are exactly the SAME!
Here is the cut-n-paste
EXAMPLES
pptpctrl stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in
inetd.conf
to run pptpctrl to service incoming pptp
connections using
the tcp wrapper /usr/sbin/tcpd. The options
here are no
debugging, default pppd options file,
default speed and
default IP addresses. The --buffer-- string is
ignored and
is there to extend the process name so that the
process can

change its name to include the client IP address.
pptpctrl stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in
inetd.conf
will run pptpctrl to service incoming pptp
connections using
the tcp wrapper /usr/sbin/tcpd, as before,
however with
debugging enabled, an alternate config
file of
/etc/ppp/options.PPTP, the speed set to 115200
and the local
IP address forced to be 192.168.0.1.
My questions are:
1. What is the _proper_ method to keep pptp available
for all of the clients comming in.
2. Can I register pptpd in inetd.conf? If so how.
3. If I need to use pptpctrl in inetd how is this done
so I can use the options WITHOUT tcpd?
