    Hi! How about the pptpd port?

  2. By Ilya Voronin on January 27, 2008 at 4:51 pm

    Poptop project webpage claims that pptpd was ported to Solaris 2.6, and i was able to build it fine on Nevada with small makefile fixes (excluded bcrelay). I never checked if it works at all.

    What exactly doesn’t work? Did you receive any error messages?

    Hi,
    Great news! Will you contribute this patch back into pptpclient project so that future versions work out of the box?

  6. By Ilya Voronin on March 30, 2008 at 10:27 am

    This patch is already in pptpclient CVS tree!

    IN OPEN SOLARIS FORUM
    ######
    I really need this, so I decided to give it a try. I have just built it from sources and installed it at /opt/pptp-1.7.1. Now I would like to set it up such that connection is as simple as:

    set up connection:
    svccfg -s network/pptp:MyInstance setprop host=
    svccfg -s network/pptp:MyInstance setprop user=
    svccfg -s network/pptp:MyInstance setprop passwd=

    connect:
    svcadm enable network/pptp:MyInstance

    disconnect:
    svcadm disable network/pptp:MyInstance

    #####
    how does he install in /opt as svc ?

    Thanks for preparing this info. pptp was easy to compile; in order to install it I had to replace “install” by /opt/sfw/bin/install in the Makefile; the default version of install did not work.

    I would like to use thts with a cisco VPN3000 server. Do you know the right command line and/or other configuration for this ?

    Thanks

    I downloaded and installed the Open Solaris version of the pptp client. However, it seems that mschap is not supported. Following is the log output:

    hello

    I’m trying to connect to my workplace over internet VPN with this program, but it’s fails. MS Chap v2 success, but then the connection terminates.
    I collected debug logs:

    my client requests vpn server after success ms chap v2 auth compression method VJ 0f 01, but server Rejects it.
    server requests my client compression method MPPC+MPPE, but my client Rejects it.

    May by MPPC+MPPE compression is not supported by this version of pppd?
    But why this command
    strings `which pppd`|grep -i mppe|wc -c
    returns 30 fires?

    There is nothing in man about mppe or mppc support.

    Have anything ideas?

    Alexander, this is a known issue, see http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6371262

    Hi
    Can you please explain how we can setup the connection?
    I installed the package but I can not understand how I can setup a connection.
    I looked in the http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ and it has some instructions which need a command named ‘pon’ to activate the connection but this command is not present in opensolaris 2008.11.

    Your help is appreciated.
