[pptp-server] Getting started on OpenBSD

[Phil Van Baren]

Did you configure PoPToP using the command:
	./configure --with-bsdppp

Also, check out the FreeBSD PPTP HOWTO at:
	http://heyer.supranet.net/pptp/

The remoteip options should not be x.y.41.1-254.  This is NOT a list of IPs
that you will allow connection from.  This is the list of IPs that get
assigned to the ppp interface of the machine making the connection.  More
likely, you want something like:
	localip 192.168.254.1
	remoteip 192.168.254.2-254
