Package: pptpd
Version: all versions
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Pptpd server does not sent keep-alive echo messages - echo reuests
(RFC2637).

If pptp client also does not send this echo messages then we have problem.
Some firewalls and NAT drops connection after while (TCP connection
timeout).
We use mobile phones with Android. The pptp client in android does not send
this echo messages. Connection is dropped after 150 seconds by our sbserver.

This problem was fixed in revision 1.22 with patch Mon Jun 15 03:01:09 2009
UTC (3 years, 4 months ago).
