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

[matt]

Ok...
I think my problem is in the way pptpctrl is started.  It is started 
through inetd, but I have xinetd installed on my machine.  I have tried 
to cobble together a module for xinetd, but I can't get it to work. 
 Anybody have an xinetd module I can try?  

Thanks again,
Matt
