Hello,

	I've recently set up a PPtP server on a SuSE 6.3 box running 
kernel 2.2.15. I've configured everything according to the READMEs, but 
when I try to actually connect I get the following sequence of log messages:

I've checked ownerships, and the pty's should all be readable to the client. 

Any ideas? 

Shad.
