Hi Jim, Hi all I've just successfully installed a PPTPD server. It works great. If you want MPPE encryption (128bit), you have to compile the whole ppp, pptp stuff and a new kernel. I don't need encryption of the data, encrypting the username/password is enough for me (CHAP). What I've done? 1. I've downloaded the pptpd.lrp from Koon Wong's package archive. (look in the "dev" directory) 2. You also need a ppp daemon. I'm using this one from dachstein CD (ppp.lrp, it contains client and server) 3. I had a look at Tom Eastep's Shorewall Homepage www.shorewall.net. (Thank you Tom!). It contains a configuration example and instructions for compiling if you need 128bit encryption. 4. I'm using the same config as Tom do. IMPORTANT POINT: 5. You NEED to allow forwarding from your PPTP client IP's and your LAN even they're on the same subnet. $IPCH -I forward -j ACCEPT -b -s [pptp client IP] -d [your subnet] in /etc/ipchains.forward
If you don't find the things I mentioned (sorry, I don't have the links ready, I'm not at my computer), please let me know. --- Sandro Minola | LEAF Developer (http://leaf.sourceforge.net) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.minola.ch | http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/sminola - worldcontrol:~ # rm -rf /bin/laden > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jim Van > Eeckhoutte > Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 6:36 AM > To: , > Subject: [Leaf-user] PPTP setup > > > I need info on setting up PPTP deamon on DachsteinCD 1.0.2 Any howtos or > replies would be greatly appreciated.
