[pptp-server] ppp_mppe not loading mandrake 8.2

[Joe Ward]

Sorry guys,  sometimes I honestly think my brain is kept in a bucket next to
my desk.   I was playing around with this all day and finally decided I
really needed a file from the network this box is a gateway to so I ran
pptpd without encryption.   then I found I had proxy-arp problems.

It all boils down to the fact I forgot to define the options file in the
pptpd.conf file.    it all works fine now.   thanks for those who helped.
it's nice to have my VPN back up and running.   now I just have to edit out
those silly out of order packet error messages again.

okay thanks to richard I have finally got mandrake 8.2 to patch and compile.
I dindt' have any errors in the compile or making and installing the
modules. using 2.4.18-6mdk kernel from mandrake. also using the pppd and
pptpd sources and the patches which were downloaded from:
http://www.advancevpn.com/en/download_other.html

I have a huge problem though  ppp_mppe is NOT loading!!!!!!   I know the
module is in the proper location (using modprobe -l |grep ppp)  I have even
gone so far as to us insmod to load it (I get a warning about tainting the
kernel, but that's it).  but still no encrption.   I can get my win2k client
to connect if I turn off encryption but I get a 741 error if I have
encription on.  I cannot find any errors relating to ppp in the boot.log
nore do I see anything that tells me I have a miscompiled module.   below
are the file snipets that may or may not help.
