[pptp-server] Getting started on OpenBSD

Hello,

I'm wrestling with pptp on an OpenBSD box and not getting very far. An
incoming client does this (IP addresses changed to protect the innocent...)
:

Nov 23 18:44:07 modez pptpd[20954]: MGR: No free connection slots or IPs -
no more clients can connect!
Nov 23 18:44:07 modez pptpd[20323]: CTRL: Client x.y.41.190 control
connection started
Nov 23 18:44:07 modez pptpd[20323]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd,
opening GRE)
Nov 23 18:44:07 modez pppd[15152]: pppd 2.3.5 started by dlandgre, uid 0
Nov 23 18:44:07 modez pppd[15152]: Using interface ppp0
Nov 23 18:44:07 modez pppd[15152]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyp0
Nov 23 18:44:37 modez pptpd[20323]: CTRL: Error with select(), quitting
Nov 23 18:44:37 modez pptpd[20323]: CTRL: Client x.y.41.190 control
connection finished
Nov 23 18:44:37 modez pppd[15152]: Modem hangup
Nov 23 18:44:37 modez pppd[15152]: Connection terminated.
Nov 23 18:44:37 modez pppd[15152]: Exit.

I'm a bit puzzled by the "No free connection slots" as my pptpd.conf, in
its entirety is

pidfile /var/run/pptpd.pid
speed 115200
option /etc/ppp/options
debug
localip 192.168.254.1-254
remoteip x.y.41.1-254

/etc/ppp/options looks like this:

debug
name modez
auth
require-chap
proxyarp

/etc/ppp/ppp.conf is a bit of a mess... I just fiddled with the sample conf
file but I need to hit with a cluestick. I really don't know what it should
look like.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
David
