( BTW I am sure it is NOT a > firewall issue as someone suggested that originally) RH6.2 kernel source was almost always prepatched for PPTP masquerading. (one version they forgot or rushed out a bug fix without it). Are you using PPTP or L2TP/ipsec? I don't know anything about the status of the latter. My understanding is that the 2.4 kernels from RH (at least 7.3 series that I use) allow PPTP masquerading in Iptables - you need to patch only if you still want support under ipchains.
