I copy pasted example for a pptp client from the example file and it
wouldn't connect.
Under further investigation I found out it's because the example tries to
connect without encryption/compression even without an authentication type.

What on earth is going on with release scheduling?
FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, according to the scheduling page at www.freebsd.org,
should have had a Release Candidate published
Running a release 7.0 Xorg / Gdm / Xfce Desktop world. Would like to go
from powering on the PC directly to the Gdm login screen. Don't want the
users seeing all those boot message roll by.
Can this be done?
