[pptp-server] Linux Client?

[Patrick Childers]

Thanks to everyone so far for helping me setup our VPN sever, I could not have gotten this far with the list.

But anyway I can't get the linux pptp client to work on my any system. We are using standard redhat-6.2 installs. I installed the mppe modules, but the pptp-client returns that

"The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I counldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so."

I assume to is asking for the login/password, but how do I hand that to the cleint.

Thanks
Patrick
