/usr/sbin/pptpdconfig.pl snafu?

[will trillich <will@serensoft.com>]

installing "pptpd" went like a charm--but i can't get the config
script to run:

	# apt-get install pptpd
	Reading Package Lists... Done
	Building Dependency Tree... Done
	The following extra packages will be installed:
	  ppp 
	The following NEW packages will be installed:
	  ppp pptpd 
	0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
	Need to get 236kB/289kB of archives. After unpacking 600kB will be used.

presumably all known dependencies are now met, but--

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #21 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com> 
:
Looking to configure your Debian NETWORK SETTINGS? Look at the
file /etc/network/interfaces (try "man interfaces" for more
info). Then "ifup -a" to reload your settings, and "ifconfig" to
display them. (Also check out "apt-get install ipmasq"!)
