I installed the 'mpd' system from ports/net/mpd. Then created the following files in /usr/local/etc/mpd/. mpd.conf mpd.links mpd.secret The installation of the port did not seem to create the files with the appropriate ownerships. So make sure that your files are owned by root:wheel . mpd.conf basically tells mpd (Multi-link PPP daemon) what to load, and the options that each connection needs. mpd.links basically tells mpd what to do with each connection. This is usually a pretty simple file. and mpd.secret tells mpd what the valid users and passwords can be. This file should only be readable by root. Take a look at mpd.secret.sample . I am also including my config files (modified for my security) for you to take a look at. And for the list that may read this as well, I have converted the files to the Microsoft crlf format. All addresses that are listed as 1.2.3.4 gets swapped out with your public internet address. And for firewall rules, if they apply, you need to make sure that port 1723 gets redirected to your VPN server. (even if its the local machine) And finally, you may want to make sure that the following file exists /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mpd.sh with executable permissions set if you want the server to load itself on startup. If it doesnt exist it is attached to this email as well. And yes, I realise that getting a VPN up and running can be a pain in the but. But if you have any questions about it feel free to get in touch with me via email. > > Thanks, And for the sake of everyone else, this question really should be directed to -net. So I request that further discussion on the matter be moved there. This list is for people that wish to discuss comments and report bugs etc about freebsd-stable. > > Jake Aaron Burke [EMAIL PROTECTED]
