Sorry if this is an FAQ but I am losing hair on this one. Is ppp 2.4.0f-1 from the testing distribution compiled with the mppe patches?
I am running Debian potato with 2.2.16 kernel that has been compiled with the various modules for tunneling. I have installed pptp-linux and ppp-2.4.0f-1 from the testing distribution but am still having problems connecting to my VPN server at work. I have read that the solution may rest with fixing pppd with the mppe patches from http://www.scooter.cx/alpha/pptp.html . However, I have also read that Debian demigods have poo-pooed these - I have been unable to locate information regarding Debian's solution to the problem of MS' use of non-standard authentication. I would appreciate any help.
