[pptp-server] silent pppd death in LCP negs

[Neale Banks]

I build a patched ppp for my Debian potato system, without to much
trouble, using the 2.3.11 patches from http://miror.binarix.com/ppp-mppe

However, on trying to connect to a Win2k "server" with Linux pptp client,
pppd dies like this:

Oct  2 12:48:13 gull pppd[672]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <callback CBCP> <magic 0xfdfcea89> <accomp>]
Oct  2 12:48:13 gull pppd[672]: Timeout 0x80519ec:0x80840c0 in 3 seconds.
Oct  2 12:48:15 gull pppd[672]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x0 <auth chap 81> <magic 0x5adc00eb> <pcomp> <accomp> <callback CBCP> < 11 04 06 4e> < 13 17 01 de cb 9e 46 b1 73 49 6d bb 70 9a 55 60 b7 57 7d 00 00 00 00> < 17 04 01 fd>]

That's all it says {:-(

Yes, I am passing "debug" as a ppp option.  Yes, if I use the stock pppd
and the Win2k machine has "require encryption" turned off then things work
just fine.

Any ideas on how to coax a "Good Error Message" out of this?

Thanks,
Neale.
