[pptp-server] MPPE for Linux kernel 2.4.x and pppd-2.4.0

Sun Feb 4 07:09:48 CST 2001

Hi,

This is true but the MPPE patch for 2.4.0 PPPD doesn't create kernel
patches, like it did for 2.3.11. So there is no ppp_mppe module to be
found anywhere.

Infact, it comments out the "kernel: " option on the pppd 2.4.0 Makefile.
so you could never do a make kernel.

Besides that, I'm not even getting as far as MPPE yet anyhow, I can't even
get PPPD to start the initial GRE tunnel. I'm getting that error:

Feb  4 13:49:27 demo pppd[2055]: Couldn't set tty to PPP
discipline: Invalid argument

Which I cannot find any documentation for.
