[pptp-server] MPPE died

[George Vieira]

Whooo.. what a thread building...

I used that same patch and had these problems.. I compiled after compiled
after scheading the source three and re "tar xvfz" the source and started
again and then it suddenly worked.

I find that half of these "unresolved symbol" compile errors are when other
things/modules are required to add into the kernel and aren't and so you get
these errors. I added a few other things and compile again and it all
worked.. But now this MPPE has started to creep up.

I wonder if it's really encrypting, haven't tcpdumped it yet to see..

thanks,

I've found that many features that aren't in Linus's official source tree 
work better when compiled as a module. I use the patch:

	ppp-2.4.0-openssl-0.9.6-mppe.patch 

from mirror.binarix.com/ppp-mppe and load ppp_mppe.o as a module. Works
fine.
