Check my site, setup for Redhat 6.2 pptpd.

Grab howto.html.

Hope it helps.  Dread.  =)

-----------------------------------------------

So many of you have this working, so I must be missing something simple
that you can point out...  No smp kernel, no iptables, no 2.4 kernel,
just vanilla RH6.2 i386.

I am running RH6.2, kernel 2.2.16-3, pptpd-init-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm,
ppp-2.3.8 patched per /usr/doc/pptpd-1.0.1/html/HOWTO-PoPToP.txt,
and patched ppp and ppp-mppe kernel modules per the same HOWTO.
Outside those 2 modules, I am running the stock Red Hat 2.2.16-3 kernel.

I always get this in /var/log/messages when I try to connect from a
Win98Se
machine, even though I do have entries in chap-secrets and pap-secrets.

  pppd[16478]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself but
I
  pppd[16478]: couldn't find any secret (password) which would let it
               use an IP address.
  pptpd[16477]: GRE: read(fd=4,buffer=804d8c0,len=8196) from PTY failed:
              status = -1 error = Input/output error
  pptpd[16477]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed (pty,gre)=(4,5)

Does something else in this kernel need patching to support the GRE
protocol?

The PopTop web page suggests the pptpd 1.0.1 rpm as the best working
version, but if that's no longer true, please redirect me.  I
used kernel 2.2.16 only because it seems to be the one this pptpd
version
used.  Otherwise, I have all the RH6.2 update rpms installed.

RTFMs that point me to a known-working setup for RH6.2 2.2 kernels
would be very welcome.

I am all ears...

Thanks in advance for any tips!
