I don't know, I think I'm a little confused about how pptp 
development works. Is there anybody that is 'responsible' for the 
pptpd, the PPP MPPE Kernel module and the pppd patch? Like a 
maintainer, or maybe an origninal author?

Or does anybody else feel responsible for fixings these problems with 
newer kernels? I still don't dare installing a new kernel because of 
the pains the switching around would be for my users if it doesn't 
work. This way I'm still running 2.4.2 which doesn't seem that good 
to me.
