[pptp-server] ppp problems (argh!)

[Mike Ireton]

Ok folks, I've got one for you:

	I'm testing out poptop and am having a problem that has me
stumped. The issue is the following messages that indicate ppp starting up and
then deciding to quit for no discernable reason:

Jun  8 08:37:04 (none) pptpd[343]: CTRL: Client 158.252.223.41 control connection started
Jun  8 08:37:04 (none) pptpd[343]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd, opening GRE)
Jun  8 08:37:04 (none) pppd[344]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
Jun  8 08:37:04 (none) kernel: ppp_ioctl: set dbg flags to 70000
Jun  8 08:37:04 (none) kernel: ppp_ioctl: set flags to 70000

Jun  8 08:37:04 (none) pptpd[343]: CTRL: Error with select(), quitting
Jun  8 08:37:04 (none) pptpd[343]: CTRL: Client 158.252.223.41 control connection finished
Jun  8 08:37:04 (none) pppd[344]: Modem hangup
Jun  8 08:37:04 (none) pppd[344]: Connection terminated.
 

	This is with 'debug' and 'kdebug 7' in the ppp options file. Here are
my config files - 

/etc/pptpd.conf

speed 115200
option /config/ppp/options
debug
localip 10.1.1.220-230
remoteip 10.1.2.220-230
pidfile /var/run/pptpd.pid

/config/ppp/options

auth
local
lock
debug
kdebug 7
+chap
+chapms
+chapms-v2
mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless


	Any ideas? If it helps, I'm running 2.0.38 with ppp as a built in
driver, patched and installed with ppp 2.3.11 and ppp-mpppe-rc4 patches.
