Ok, on to new swamps.
I would like to enable PPTP on CentOS4 to accept connections from clients running MicroSoft Win2K and XP pro from outside our firewall. I am testing pptpd-1.2.3-0 and tells me that I need kernel support for MPPE, which I suppose is MicroSoft's own form of PtoP encryption. Is there a way of doing this without rebuilding the kernel? If so, how?
Regards, Jim

The sourceforge page http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/
has a pptp client for linux. Not Centos or RHEL specific, but for many other kinds. I believe it uses DKMS for the MPPE support so would not need a specially built kernel.
