[pptp-server] PPTPD errors intermittantly

[George Vieira]

Hi all,

I get this message from time to time and it's killing me on what the problem
is.

Nov 13 11:27:01 citadel2k pptpd[20641]: CTRL: couldn't read packet header
(exit)
Nov 13 11:27:01 citadel2k pptpd[20641]: CTRL: Unexpected control message 0

I have to KILL the pptpd server and restart the whole thing again.. it spews
these logs through out the log
files.

any ideas?

thanks,
