[pptp-server] pppd 2.4.1 kernel 2.4.5 and this dumb stupid p pp_mppe.o

Thu Aug 2 10:31:53 CDT 2001

Sorry for the very late reply, I ran into and solved this error on my own
configuration (2.4.7 kernel) as there was no solution available on the list,
I am simply posting this solution so that it will show up in future list
searches.  If you specify when you build your kernel that PPP should be
built monolithically, rather than as a module.  Then there will be no
ppp_mppe.o module available.  In order to alias to the module ppp_mppe.o,
PPP must be built as a module.

Thanks (now back to lurking),

FYI, I have mppe in my 2.4.5 kernel modules.dep file.  By chance, when you 
did a kernel rebuild, you did type "make dep" FIRST right?
