With FreeBSD4.5 everything worked piece of cake....the 4.5 ppp already
includes support for MPPE-128 and mschapv2 (its called chap81
though)..it was so easy too

I got all my info from http://heyer.supranet.net/pptp/  so that's where
the credit should go.  With FreeBSD4.5 you don't have to do anything
with the mpd or pppopie like the webpage says...all yougotta do after
installing poptop is make your config files.  The only thing is you'll
have to learn how FreeBSD ppp works...it wasn't all that hard.  The
thing to know is that when you install it the way im saying then poptop
will call the "pptp" profile in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file, so you'll
have to add that in.  ill show you all my conf files.

After you install freebsd4.5 just goto the /usr/ports/poptop directory
(this directory gets installed for you if you tell the install program
to install ports) And enter the "make" command 
Itll go download pptpd-1.1.2 and itll also do the "./configure
--with-bsdppp" for you Then just do the "make install" command

That's it all you gotta do then is make your config file

Heres my "/etc/pptpd.conf" file:

option /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
pidfile /var/run/pptpd.pid

Now add this section at the bottom of the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file:

pptp:
 set timeout 0
 set log all
 #Use set device to tell what port to listen on, 
 #ie "set device IPADDRESS:port"
 set device 192.168.69.100:pptp
 #use set ifaddr to tell what address to use as a local address,  #what
range to use for ppp clients, and the netmask for clients  set ifaddr
10.10.10.1 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.254 255.255.255.255  enable proxy
allow mode direct  disable pap  deny pap  disable chap  deny chap 
 disable LANMan
 deny LANMan
 enable mppe
 accept mppe
 disable MSChap
 deny MSChap
 accept chap81
 enable chap81
 enable dns
 set dns 207.69.188.187 207.69.188.186
 set mppe 128

This "pptp:" entry in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf only allows MS-CHAP-v2 with
MPPE-128

Now just add usernames and passwords to the /etc/ppp/ppp.secret file:
With tabs between the username and the corresponding password:

User1		password for user1
User2		password for user2
User3		passowrd for user3


This is what I had to do to get it all to work....I never could get it
to work with the configs shown on that webpage.... Usually it wouldn't
connect....when it did ocnnect it would give out ip addresses that I
guess it just pulled out of its ass cause they definitly werent any ip
addresses on my network....so I came up with the above configs....

The only thing is that I cant get NAT to work....ppp has support for nat
but I couldn't get it so work. Ive tried "nat enable yes" and "nat
target" and "nat target IPADDRESS_OF_MY_EXTERNAL_INTERFACE" I various
combos but couldn't get it to work....also I cant seem to get mppe
stateless to work either.....ie "set mppe 128 stateless|stateful"

Any ideas from some more experienced BSD poptop users?

Thanks,
Bo Byrd
