I don't see the original mail here, nor do i know who wrote it. In any case: M$ PPTP is a sad joke, and nothing else. Nobody who's concerned the slightest about security (and after all, improving security is the designated purpose of PPTP) should ever use the M$ implementation. There is a cryptoanalysis of M$ PPTP available on the Web, and the outcome was that they made a bunch of `cryptographic kindergarten errors' (original quote of the analysis) which even a simple code review of someone knowledgable should have made apparent. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
