There's something you had to have in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets from memory. Think it was that you had to specify 'pptp' in the server field. The errors it gives aren't really helpful. On a RedHat 6.2 system we didn't do any stuffing around with tcp wrappers either, we did however have to make sure we allow GRE packets through the firewall. GRE is some other IP protocol (ie same level as ICMP, UDP, TCP & those characters). -- ---<GRiP>--- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Phone/fax: 02 4950 1194 Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
