[pptp-server] gre protocol not available - help!

[R. de Vroede]

I am going to include the attached patch to the next kernel RPM, but now
you can test if it helps you out. Note that eventhough it is written for
the client, it is a problem related to netfilter and should also cure
pptp server problems.
Hope it helps.

Regards,
Richard

Here's the author's comment:
-------------
Here's my first try at a PPTP helper module for netfilter.  The patch is
against 2.4.12.  Testing so far has shown that it works with multiple
PPTP
clients (windows only tested so far).  There are two known problems:

1) if you are using an SNAT pool with more than one address, it doesn't
work
2) one person reported not being able to use more than 4 simultaneous
clients

After applying, make menuconfig and select the PPTP Masq under netfilter
options.

Any feedback/testing would appreciated.  Thanks to all those who have
done
so already!

Regards,
Brian Kuschak
