Package: pptp-linux Version: 1.7.2-6 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
the tunnel files generated by pptpsetup are not working if pptp is used as non- root user. The first paragraph of file USING (root of source tree) suggests using the absolute path too: > Usage Notes > > pptp is started as a psuedo-tty child process using pppd's pty option: > pppd call provider [pppd-options] \ > pty "/usr/sbin/pptp hostname --nolaunchpppd [pptp-options]" > ... Please consider applying the attached patch. It should not break anything for users using pptp as root, but works for more secure setup's using a non-root user too. Thanks Stefan
