Dear All, I am installing pptpd (aka poptop) on a 6.1 release box which is taking over the functions of a Debian box. VPN is needed and Debian used pptpd for this, so I decided to follow suit. However, I get errors that indicate that pptpd is not directing pppd to the correct options file. Part of the debug output from pptpd is: Dec 11 12:21:28 mail pptpd[54767]: MGR: Launching /usr/local/sbin/pptpctrl to handle client Dec 11 12:21:28 mail pptpd[54767]: CTRL: pppd options file = /etc/ppp/options.pptpd Dec 11 12:21:28 mail pptpd[54767]: CTRL: Received PPTP Control Message (type: 1) Dec 11 12:21:28 mail pptpd[54767]: CTRL: Made a START CTRL CONN RPLY packet Dec 11 12:21:28 mail pptpd[54767]: CTRL: I wrote 156 bytes to the client.

Dec 11 12:21:28 mail pptpd[54767]: CTRL: Sent packet to client Dec 11 12:21:28 mail pptpd[54767]: CTRL: Reaping child PPP[54768] Dec 11 12:21:28 mail pptpd[54767]: CTRL: Exiting now Dec 11 12:21:28 mail pptpd[54625]: MGR: Reaped child 54767 (I have also tried using /usr/sbin/pppd, with the same result). The error from pppd indicates that it is trying to access the options file /etc/ppp/options, in spite of having: # TAG: option # Specifies the location of the PPP options file. # By default PPP looks in '/etc/ppp/options' # option /etc/ppp/options.pptpd in the pptpd.conf file. I've tried symlinking an "options" to the "options.pptpd" file, but then it indicates that the ppp options, as suggested in the poptop distribution, are illegal: refuse-pap illegal option It's almost as if user-land ppp was being called instead of pppd. Anyone any ideas as to how I can get a better handle on this? Thank you.
