[pptp-server] 2.4.5 and mppe patches.

OK.. but I've done the 2 instructions which patched OK and just to check, I
ran them again which gave me these errors (of course)...

[root at firewall linux-2.4]# patch -p1 <
/root/pptp/linux-2.4.4-openssl-0.9.6a-mppe.patch 
patching file drivers/net/Makefile
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n]
(CTRL-C)...

[root at firewall ppp-2.4.1]# patch -p1 <
/root/pptp/ppp-2.4.1-openssl-0.9.6-mppe-patch 
The next patch would create the file README.MPPE,
which already exists!  Assume -R? [n]  (CTRL-C)...

So the patches are already existing... but I don't get compress-18
working...

Is there anything suppose to be in /lib/modules/2.4.5/modules.dep which
mentions mppe.o???

There's nothing in there and as a cheat I put the full path of ppp_mppe.o in
there and tried reconnecting... I then got this message...

Jun 19 08:12:59 firewall pppd[1585]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1
Jun 19 08:13:00 firewall pptpd[1584]: CTRL: Ignored a SET LINK INFO packet
with real ACCMs!
Jun 19 08:13:03 firewall insmod:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.o: couldn't find the kernel
version the module was compiled for
Jun 19 08:13:03 firewall insmod:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.o: insmod ppp-compress-18 failed
Jun 19 08:13:03 firewall pppd[1585]: MSCHAP-v2 peer authentication succeeded

Jun 19 08:13:03 firewall insmod:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.o: couldn't find the kernel
version the module was compiled for

Now this looks more like it and the error probably explains why it's now not
working.. I'm running pppd version 2.4.1 NOT 2.4.0 which the patches still
worked fine. But the kernel version is 2.4.5 NOT 2.4.4 as the name of the
patches I managed to download.
All patches were applied quite fine without errors so I assumed (bad thing
to do really) that this should work OK..


any ideas?

files downloaded were (ONLY latest patch versions and patches which were
mentioned in the web site to install were used):

Hope this problem was verbose enough.. I emaild it using
--very-verbose-problem switch ;-))

Slowly starting to get desperate as my FW is really having bad sector
problems now..

Actually it does show 2.  However, one is for the kernel, and the other is 
for pppd.  You did patch pppd right??
