cite from README.MPPE: if you turn it on, all other compression options are disabled and MPPE *must* be negotiated successfully in both directions (CCP is unidirectional) or the link will be disconnected. I think this is reasonable since, if you want encryption, you want encryption. That is, I am not convinced that optional encryption is useful.
----------------------- So this intentionally made by the author. I tried to contact the Original Author, but didn't receive any answers. I tried to change that behaviour but was only partly successful. Using the patch is is now possible to make MPPE optional, but it will be optional in any case. I couldn't find a really good solution which would add a additional config option. That didn't really work out. I might be able to provide a better patch, but currently that one is sufficient for me, since I only need optional MPPE support and no MPPE required solution. ** Attachment added: "MPPE made optional. require-mppe does not work anymore as intended" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19433702/ppp-mppe-optional.diff -- pppd cannot be configured to enable mppe but not require it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/88986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
