[pptp-server] PPTP Linux client and PPTPD encryption question.

Hello,

I am trying to create a vpn atm.  I have installed pptpd on a linux box,
installed mppe, patched ppp-2.4.1 with the 2 patches that i found on
mirror.binarix.com, installed them all and rebooted.

I can connect my Win2k workstation to the pptpd server with 128bit
encryption with no problems.  I get a event on my messages log that says
this.

However, whenever i connect another identically built linux box using pptp
client (version 1.0.2), i see in the messages log no mention of encryption:

Aug 23 09:47:37 grunt pppd[422]: Using interface ppp0
Aug 23 09:47:37 grunt pppd[422]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0
Aug 23 09:47:40 grunt pppd[422]: MSCHAP-v2 peer authentication succeeded for
supervisor
Aug 23 09:47:40 grunt pppd[422]: Deflate (15) compression enabled
Aug 23 09:47:40 grunt pppd[422]: local  IP address 10.1.254.1
Aug 23 09:47:40 grunt pppd[422]: remote IP address 10.1.254.15

How can i get my second linux box to connect using encryption and using
pptpd?  If i cant get it working using pptp client, is there another one i
can use?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Steve
