[pptp-server] PTY, GRE prob

[Patrick Reid]

I recommend that you check out the patches for pppd at http://www.smop.de

These add some helpful functionality, including allowing you to strip out
the domain// in the authentication.

  Hi all,

  well it I have solved this problem and it is real egg-on-face time!  It
was simply the NTDOMAIN\\username thing catching me out.  I eventually found
this when looking in a *different* syslog log.  So I just put a second line
in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets with my NT domain prepended to the username and all
works!  Crazy MS Windows!  The dialog box where I entered my username did
*not* include the domain name, it must get added by Windows before being
sent to the PPTP server.  I have another problem which I think is very
different so I will put it in another message to close this thread ;-)

  Cheers,

  Richard Shepherd

  Hi,

  I am fairly new to PPTP but still don't think I should have this problem.
I have pptp 1.0, ppp-2.3.10 with the ppp-2.3.10-openssl-0.9.4-mppe.patch
patch applied.  I run /usr/local/sbin/pptpd --debug.  The kernel is rebuilt
and has the modules ppp, ppp-mppe, and others loaded.  Whenever I attempt a
connection from my Win98 box I get immediately disconnected and in the Linux
syslogs I see:

  May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd,
opening GRE)
  May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: pty_fd = 4
  May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: tty_fd = 5
  May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: I wrote 32 bytes to the client.
  May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: Sent packet to client

  May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed

  May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: Client 192.168.10.193 control

  May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3551]: MGR: Reaped child 3552

  The message from the Win98 dialogue is that my password is incorrect but I
don't believe that's the problem.  I've searched the list archives and not
seen an answer to this which has fixed it for me!  *PLEASE* can anyone help
me?

  My config files are:

  /etc/ppp/options:

  lock
  debug
  name bts
  auth
  ##require-chap
  proxyarp
  ms-dns 192.168.99.30
  ms-wins 192.168.10.11
  +chap
  +chapms
  +chapms-v2
  mppe-40
  mppe-128
  mppe-stateless

  /etc/pptpd.conf:

  speed 115200
  localip 192.168.10.134
  remoteip 192.168.10.248-249

  /etc/ppp/chap-secrets:

  # Secrets for authentication using CHAP
  # client        server  secret                  IP addresses
  me        bts     mysecret                   *

  Cheers,

  Richard Shepherd
