[pptp-server] Can't find the cause of "createHostSocket: Address already in use "

[Kenny Austin]

Did you install the rpm?  I know that certain rpms of pptp will
put it into /etc/inittab so that it will "always" be running.
To see if it is already running do a "netstat -a" and see if
there is anything listening on the local port 1723, or you could
"ps -e | grep pptpd" and if it shows anything that means that
pptpd is already running (which is likely the case).

Hi y'all,

I am trying to install pptp but can't start it. It tells me that there's
something else running on it's port but I can't see anything in
/etc/services or /etc/inetd.conf

[root at stargate pptpd-1.0.0]# createHostSocket: Address already in use

Anybody got any other ideas where to look?

thanks,
George.
