[pptp-server] pptp dies, pid remains...

[Matt Francis]

Hey all, I have been trying to set up PoPToP for a couple of weeks now.  I
am running RedHat 7.1, kernel 2.4.9.  I have compiled all the ppp stuff
into my kernel, and tried to find tty and compile it in there too, but I
am not too sure about that one.  pptpd is in init.d and starts up (and
quickly dies) at boot up.  Error message is createHostSocket: Address
already in use.  I am running ppp-2.4.1-3mlx, and sending an example pptpd.log.

Thanks for any help!
Matt
