ppp interface
Hi
I am having a hard time getting PPTP to work in a lab environemnt. I have two linux systems connected directly. I have installed one of them as server and the other one as client from the directions given at sourceforge.
My problem:
since i dont have a modem i dont have a ppp interface. pptp tries to use ppp0 as a tunnel interface. so when i try to start a pptp connection it gives me something like this.
[root@localhost ppp]# pppd pty 'pptp 1.1.1.101 --nolaunchpppd' call pptp1 debug dump logfd 2 nodetach
pppd options in effect:

ipparam pptp1 # (from /etc/ppp/peers/pptp1)
nobsdcomp # (from /etc/ppp/options.pptp)
nodeflate # (from /etc/ppp/options.pptp)using channel 9
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/3
Child process pptp 1.1.1.101 --nolaunchpppd (pid 26619) terminated with signal 15
Modem hangup
Connection terminated.
Although i have pppd in the processes i dont have any ppp interface. pppd version 2.4.2. What should i do?
Appreciate your help...

Works for me every time. I last checked it yesterday with the release of pptpd 1.3.4.

This is entirely normal. If you did have a modem interface, pppd would use ppp1 as the tunnel interface.

This suggests that pptp has failed with a SIGTERM. There is no sign there of any pppd problem.
