[pptp-server] Help setting up PPTP

[Dwight Lee]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone out there might know how to solve this
problem.  I'm trying to set up the following server:

Redhat Linux 7.2 with:
Kernel Version 2.4.16 with linux-2.4.16-openssl-0.9.6b-mppe.patch.gz
and PPP-2.4.1 with ppp-2.4.1-openssl-0.9.6-mppe-patch.gz
and pptpd-1.1.2 server.

I'm also using IPTables version 1.2.4-2.  I get the following log output
when I attempt to make a connection from a windows 2000 workstation. 
The error on the workstation is 619, however I do have the Unix98 PTYs
built into the kernel with 256 Maximum number Unix98 PTY's.

If there is any additional information you guys need to help me, just
ask and I'll see if I can get that to you asap.

Thanks in advance.
