[pptp-server] Re: Unknown PPP_MAGIC in header files

[Helen Cook]

Is this a Redhat specific patch?  

I am using Debian 2.2 with kernel 2.2.17 (from kernel.org) ppp 2.3.11 and
pptpd 1.1.2 and after following the directions at
http://vibrationresearch.com/pptpd/example.html (thanks to someone on this
list for suggesting it), got similar errors to the ones Brian posted
earlier.  The patches I applied were ppp-2.3.11-openssl-norc4-mppe.patch,
ppp_mppe_compressed_data_fix.diff and ip_ppp_2.2.17.diff.  

ppp.c:198: structure has no member named 'state'
... and so forth

Any suggestions?
