[pptp-server] PPTP and RedHat 7.2

[Martin Hermanowski]

I get this message whenever I try to re-establish a pptp link an the
previous gre-connection still exists in /proc/net/ip_conntrack.

I had trouble with non-working gre the time after I closed my
connection, and I found out that just the moment it left
/proc/net/ip_conntrack the new connection would start.

It does not happen with Win-machines, so I think that I do not end the
gre-Traffic correctly. What is the best way to stop a running
pptp-Session? kill -HUP `pidof pppd` seems to be wrong :-/
