[pptp-server] Ppp modules not automatically loading after upg rade

Yes!,
I'm trying something else now, I usually try to keep my servers RPM only,
although on my own workstation I do things very differently, for this reason
I have been using the pptp and ppp-mppe rpms for quite a while, but instead
of using kernel rpms which include ppp-mppe, I usually just install the
latest redhat kernel source rpms, and patch it for ppp_mppe, for the
standard redhat 7.3 kernel source rpms and all versions upto 2.4.18-5, I
used the 2.4.16 kernel patch, which worked fine, I've noticed a new patch at
http://planetmirror.com/pub/mppe/ for 2.4.19, I just tried to apply it to
2.4.18-10 , I applied more cleanly than the 2.4.16 patch so perhaps it will
work !
I'll let you know.

You DID enable it in the kernel did you?
