[pptp-server] Re: problems building your rpm's for ppp

[Jeremy Hansen]

Weird, any idea which rpm is it that affect this change?  Is it possible
that it's a Red Hat hack to 2.2.14 that changes the argument number?  I'll
admit at this point that my Red Hat kernel rpm is a bit different from the
default and I did turn off a lot of patches, so I suspect this is my
problem.
