[pptp-server] (no subject)

[Brian Haney]

My kernel is 2.2.15 (RedHat 6.0 without modification).  I'm running pptpd 1.0.0 and pppd 2.3.10. This kernel appears to include PTY.
PPP loads as a module.  I created /dev/ppp and added "alias char-major-108 ppp" to /etc/conf.modules.  It has stopped complaining
about module char-major-108.

I do have ipchains filtering input on several ports, but 1723 is open.

My /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file includes:
server1  gatekeeper.fresno.cybernaut.com  foobar *

My /etc/ppp/options file contains:
lock
debug
kdebug 7
name servername
auth
require-chap
proxyarp

My /etc/pptpd.conf file contains:
speed 115200
localip 192.168.2.234-238
remoteip 192.168.3.234-238

When I attempt to connect from an NT 4.0 server (require encrypted password/no software compression/no header compression/username
server1/password foobar) I get the following snippet in the syslog debug results:

What am I missing?
