[pptp-server] Patching ppp

[Örjan Johansson]

Hi all!

I''ve read the instructions on http://www.shorewall.net/PPTP.htm where it
says to get pppd ver.2.4.1 or later and patch it with the
ppp-2.4.0-openssl-0.9.6-mppe.patch.gz and ppp-2.4.1-MSCHAPv2-fix.patch.gz
patches, then install it. I checked out my Redhat 7.2 installation and saw
that ppp-2.4.1-2 is already installed. I'm wondering if there's a way to
patch an already installed version of ppp? I could uninstall the rpm, patch
the tarball and install that, but when I try and uninstall the rpm, tons of
dependencies bug me.... Any input on this, or any other hints on good
instructions for setting up pppd/poptop for someone new to this would be
extremely appreciated!

TIA,
Orjan
