Hi all I have installed pptpd on my server to run a vpn connection for some clients, but I got this error in the log file MPPE required, but kernel has no support. Can anyone help me with getting this module for the 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL kernel??? Thanks Sherwyn Greene Planner / I.T. Technician Project Controls Dept.

I'd recommend using the dkms packages that PoPTop provide (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=44827). The first section of this FC faq at pptpclient outlines the steps to get it installed (http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-fedora-core-4.phtml) -Shawn

Loads up very easily with no patching or compatibility issues and can be configured using certificates (no poor user password). The only real added work is loading the client software. Just my 2 cents, Alex
I would second this suggestion. We use OpenVPN to control access to our management network and it works really well. We currently manage over 50 people with VPN keys and the list is growing. The only drawback is that there isn't a very good web based GUI to administer your keys. When you have a security team consisting of 10 people, it can be a bit of a pain relying on bash scripts for key generation/revocation. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Alex Palenschat Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 1:39 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: RE: [CentOS] mppe support in kernel-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL> > MPPE required, but kernel has no support. > > > > Can anyone help me with getting this module for the 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL > > kernel??? > > > MPPE can cause you much heartache (as I learned the hard way > at my last > job...).
