Hi, I'm trying to set up my 3.4-stable box to be a pptp server. So far, things aren't going well. I've tried poptop from the ports, as well as compiling it myself from the original tarball (with both standard ppp, and --with-bsdppp), and I always seem to get the same result: Jan 6 09:25:55 nova pptpd[312]: GRE: read(fd=5,buffer=804d900,len=8196) from PTY failed: status = 0 error = No error On the Windows 98 box I'm using to connect, I get disconnected with Error 650, during the Verifying Username and Password phase. The ppp logs indicate the problem occurs with the LCP phase: Jan 6 09:52:51 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: Using interface: tun0 Jan 6 09:52:51 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: deflink: Created in closed state Jan 6 09:52:51 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: PPP Started (direct mode). Jan 6 09:52:52 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: bundle: Establish Jan 6 09:52:52 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: deflink: closed -> opening Jan 6 09:52:52 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: deflink: Connected! Jan 6 09:52:52 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: deflink: opening -> carrier Jan 6 09:52:52 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: deflink: carrier -> lcp Jan 6 09:53:08 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: deflink: Disconnected! Jan 6 09:53:08 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: deflink: Connect time: 16 secs: 0 octets in, 110 octets out Jan 6 09:53:08 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: total 6 bytes/sec, peak 8 bytes/sec on T hu Jan 6 09:53:08 2000 Jan 6 09:53:08 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: deflink: lcp -> closed Jan 6 09:53:08 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: bundle: Dead Jan 6 09:53:08 nova ppp[1161]: Phase: PPP Terminated (normal). If I tail -f the logs, it hangs for a few seconds on the carrier -> lcp line, then disconnects. I created a ppp log in Windows, which wasn't all that helpful, other than to say that it was also failing in the LCP phase. Looking at the pptpd source code, the problem appears to be resulting from a read() call that returned 0. The man page for read(2) says that it will return 0 at EOF. So it basically looks like pptpd is never receiving the LCP information that Windows is sending it. I have tried all possible combinations of config options on both the Windows box and on my FreeBSD box, with no luck at all. If anyone has any suggestions, or some working config files, or anything at all that might help get this to work, I'd really appreciate hearing from you! -Christian -- Christian Taylor christian@phazer.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
