[pptp-server] Required encryption is broken

[Chris Tresco]

I cannot for the life of me get data encryption to work.

ppp-2.4.0 patched, kernel-2.4.2 patched.


Any ideas?

I compiled ppp as modules.  They are loaded.  For some reason, the ppp_mppe
modules is never used, and it definately should be.

I really don't want to revert back to 2.2.x kernel.  Any ideas?
