Hi all, I had the famous "Address already in use" message while trying to set up an pptp server, when my adsl connection was using pptp as well. This is due to the wan pptp connection listening to *.1723 socket. Even though the wan pptp connection will never answer an incoming message. As a solution I patched the interfaces.inc file, set pptp enable originate outcall # set pptp enable originate incoming outcall new version can be found at : http://wleiden.webweaving.org:8080/svn/node-config/other/pcengines/files/interfaces.inc The original patch to vpn.inc from Manual (set pptp self 127.0.0.1) will not work in this implementation because of an undocumented feature of MPD; the pptp self line has to be the second line after 'set link type' new version of the vpn.inc file at : http://wleiden.webweaving.org:8080/svn/node-config/other/pcengines/files/vpn.inc it this would work pptp would only listen to lo interface, not of much use :-(( For the people who do not want to do the reading on the great hackers guide (thanks Rudi!!), make a clean FreeBSD4.8 machine, reconfig the kernel to support pseudo device vn and fetch and run the following script: http://wleiden.webweaving.org:8080/svn/node-config/other/pcengines/install/install.sh this will deliver a new image.... It might ruin your installation, so do not run this on a production system :-)) Enjoy! Hugo Meiland volunteer for WirelessLeiden.nl |
