Hi Jamin,

 

You suggested me to apply to patches on my kernel, but i can't find them using apt-cache.

Are they in the debian collection ?

Also you told me to patch ppp, i don't know how to grab ppp src with debian even I point on a deb src address; i'd like to do the patches by myself.

 

Thanx

Thank you,

I had read in the documentation but i'm glad to have a confirmation because i'm a bit lost sometimes.
Does your poptop server working well ?
I'll go back on that topic tomorrow or before the end of the week.

Regards

I've implemented a few of these.  There are two patches that I suggest if you are going to set up a PPTP VPN server.  One is MPPE (needed for

encryption) and the other is a patch to strip the domain name from the user name provided during authentication (this helps with maintaining user names and passwords).

The MPPE patch will require patching both PPP and the kernel.  The domain name patch is applied against PPP only.  I have a deb of the patched PPP if you'd like.
