[pptp-server] pppd and redhat 7.2

[Chris Bond]

Just setup pptpd - I have not updated pppd or the kernel with the mschap
patches.  Connect from a Windows XP VPN Client and I get the following -
I've configured it to just use CHAP, Optional encryption, PPTP VPN.

For some reason it will not connect, I've got  the following
/etc/ppp/options.pptp file:

lock
debug
auth
+chap
proxyarp
nobsdcomp
nodeflate

/etc/pptpd.conf is:
speed 115200
option /etc/ppp/options.pptp
localip 192.168.0.1
remoteip 192.168.0.240-245

The error logs when I connect are as follows:

connection finished

It authenticates the client with CHAP successfully but fails to set the
network protocols.

I think it maybe something to do with Compression but there is no option
to disable it on the VPN client.  I've tried enabling them by taking the
options out of options.pptp and it just sends LCP requests for deflate
and then disconnects eventually. The VPN Client gives a Error 734: The
PPP link control protocol was terminated messages.

Any ideas how to sort this out without recompiling the kernel or pppd?

Kind Regards,
Chris Bond
