PPTP VPN Server FC6

Hi,
i have a FC6 server with SMB PDC with Ldap authentication. I am not currently looking to create a vpn server with ldap login auth. I just want a simple VPN server with specific users.

I found many sites on the web with specific instructions for FC4 so i followed them. I found out that FC6 comes with dkms 2.0.13-1.fc6 and ppp 2.4.4-1.fc6. So to complete the instructions i needed pptp and kernel_ppp_mppe

i got pptpd-1.3.3-1.fc6 and kernel_ppp_mppe-1.0.2-3dkms

My config files:

/etc/pptpd.conf
------------------

option /etc/ppp/options.pptpd
logwtmp
localip 192.168.1.5
remoteip 192.168.1.200-230


/etc/ppp/options.pptpd
--------------------------

name pptpd
refuse-pap
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
require-mschap-v2
require-mppe-128
ms-dns 192.168.1.5
ms-wins 192.168.1.5

proxyarp
lock
nobsdcomp


novj
novjccomp
nologfd

I have redirected TCP 1723 and GRE to the internal vpn server as supposed to
and no firewall or selinux is enabled yet.
And ofcourse i get the known error from /var/log/messages

Feb 7 09:05:12 pdc pptpd[13753]: MGR: Maximum of 100 connections reduced to 31, not enough IP addresses given
Feb 7 09:05:12 pdc pptpd[13754]: MGR: Manager process started

Feb 7 09:05:20 pdc pppd[13761]: Plugin /usr/lib/pptpd/pptpd-logwtmp.so is for pppd version 2.4.3, this is 2.4.4
Feb 7 09:05:20 pdc pptpd[13760]: GRE: read(fd=6,buffer=8059660,len=8196) from PTY failed: status = -1 error = Input/output error, usually caused by unexpected termination of pppd, check option syntax and pppd logs
Feb 7 09:05:20 pdc pptpd[13760]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed (pty,gre)=(6,7)
Feb 7 09:05:20 pdc pptpd[13760]: CTRL: Client 213.249.63.34 control connection finished

Is there any solution to this?
I hope this is not a dublicate post

Thank u in advance

PPTP VPN Server FC6

Hi

update the pptpd-1.3.0/plugins/patchlevel.h
to use right kernel

#define VERSION "2.4.4"

or

remove the logwtmp option in

/etc/pptpd.conf

#logwtmp
