The mirrors are still distributing ppp-2.4.1. It appears you found a Mandrake build of 2.4.2, but you don't have a matching Mandrake build of pptp. I see on the pptpclient site that pptp 1.5.0 seems to correspond to ppp 2.4.3. I got a matching set from pptpclient and compiled them myself. Does the site where you found your Mandrake build of 2.4.2 also have a Mandrake RPM for pptp 1.4.0? -- Guy Rouillier
