[pptp-server] pptpd.init??

[Allan Clark]

Bo;

I'm the guy that originally wrote the inittab stuff (originally on
redhat).  I'm a big proponent of inittab, and hate the
/etc/rc.d/blah/blah fire-and-forget scripts.

The changes are made directly into the inittab as opposed to changing a
file that would get read into or incorporated into /etc/inittab... I
tihnk I was using a RH-6.2 to do this, which didn't include directories
at the time.

init will restart pptpd if it stops.  Plain and simple.  If you're not
sure, kill it, and watch it come back.
