Hello,

i m using the FAQ to install pptpd-1.0.0 on my linux box (2.2.14) with
ppp-2.3.10 without MSCHAPv2/MPPE.

when i try to connect to the pptp server i ve got the error 629.

my pptpd server is launched (-d option)

my /etc/ppp/options file :

lock
debug
auth
+chap
proxyarp


my /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file :

# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client	server	secret			IP addresses
test			test


my /etc/pptpd.conf file :

debug
localip 192.168.0.1
remoteip 192.168.0.234-238


my logs in /var/log/messages :
