[pptp-server] PPTP in NetBSD 1.5

[Ashley Gates]

I'm having problems with getting documentation that doesn't cause
confusion when referring to ppp and pppd!! I followed the setup for a
FreeBSD install of this and found the same problems on a FreeBSD Box --
var/log/messages shows this everytime I connect to the box via a laptop
using Windows 2000 Pro with a default VPN settings:

Jan  1 01:03:04 wiib-ii pptpd[269]: CTRL: Client 207.153.115.232 control
connection started
Jan  1 01:03:04 wiib-ii pptpd[269]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd,
opening GRE)
Jan  1 01:03:05 wiib-ii pppd[270]: unknown host: laptop1
Jan  1 01:03:05 wiib-ii pptpd[269]: GRE:
read(fd=5,buffer=804daa0,len=8196)from PTY failed: status = 0 error = No
error
Jan  1 01:03:05 wiib-ii pptpd[269]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed
(pty,gre)=(5,6)
Jan  1 01:03:05 wiib-ii pptpd[269]: CTRL: Client 207.153.115.232 control
connection finished

my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf looks like this:

laptop1:
 set timeout 0
 set log phase chat connect lcp ipcp command
 set device localhost:pptp
 set dial
 set login
 # Server (local) IP address, Range for Clients, and Netmask
 set ifaddr 192.168.10.1 192.168.10.250-192.168.10.254 255.255.255.0
 set server /tmp/loop "" 0177

loop-in:
 set timeout 0
 set log phase lcp ipcp command
 allow mode direct

pptp:
 load laptop1
 enable chap
 disable pap
 enable proxy
 accept dns
 set dns 192.168.10.1
 set device !/etc/ppp/secure

I have the ppp-mppe package installed from netbsd's site... What is
going on? If I run pppd without options it literally hard locks my
machine..
