hello,

I have installed PoPToP with
http://www.moretonbay.com/vpn/releases/PoPToP-RedHat-HOWTO.txt (step 3.0)

when i connect from my Win95 box to my VPN PoPToP box i got the error 629
(pptpd daemon is running ...).

on the /var/log/messages i have :

Sep 25 05:10:47 endeavour kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the
University of California
Sep 25 05:10:47 endeavour kernel: PPP: version 2.3.7 (demand dialling)
Sep 25 05:10:47 endeavour kernel: PPP line discipline registered.

Sep 25 05:10:47 endeavour pppd[768]: The remote system is required to
authenticate itself
Sep 25 05:10:47 endeavour pppd[768]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret
(password) for it to use to do so.

(pty,gre)=(4,5)
Sep 25 05:10:47 endeavour pptpd[767]: CTRL: Client 192.168.3.124 control
connection finished

My VPN box is linux 2.2.14 with ppp-2.3.11 and pptpd-1.0.0 (rpm package) and
i don't use ms-chap and mppe.

/etc/ppp/option

debug
auth
+chap
proxyarp
lock

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets

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

/etc/ppp/pa-secrets
# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client	server	secret			IP addresses
test				test

/etc/pptpd.conf
localip 192.168.0.245
remoteip 192.168.0.234-238



My first problem is why in the /var/log/messages the kernel says PPP:
version 2.3.7 (i have installed the 2.3.11 ... ) ?

Someone can help me ?
