Hi,

after updating my linux pptp server / router to Kernel 2.4.12-ac5 from 2.4.2 
none of the Linux clients could connect. All I got was this on the server:

Oct 23 20:09:48 localhost pptpd[5063]: GRE: read error: Bad file descriptor
Oct 23 20:09:48 localhost pptpd[5063]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed 
(pty,gre)=(-1,-1)
Oct 23 20:09:48 localhost pptpd[5063]: CTRL: Client 10.1.12.4 control 
connection finished

The client pretty much just failed silently.

Windows clients, OTOH, work without any problems.

Does anybody have an idea for me? Thanks ...
