As some of you have discovered the hard way, the PPTP masquerading module which shipped with RH 7 does not work. I've built a new RPM which includes a new ip_masq_pptp kernel module, which includes an addition patch - this is required, according to: http://www.impsec.org/linux/masquerade/ip_masq_vpn.html Because this RPM includes files which are already installed with the kernel RPMs, you will need to use the --force option to rpm to install: rpm -Uhv ip_masq_gre-0.1.1-1.i386.rpm After installing the RPM, you can load the PPTP masquerade module using: modprobe ip_masq_pptp I haven't tested that this actually works, only that the RPM installs cleanly, and the module loads cleanly. There may be additional IPchains rules required to allow the relevant packets in and out. The RPM is called ip_masq_gre because it also includes updated ip_masq_ipsec modules (both uniprocessor and smp) - ipsec is another protocol which uses GRE. The source and binary modules can be found in: ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/charlieb/SPRMS and ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/charlieb/RPMS/i386/RH7.0 Don't use on a production server, always wear a seat belt and have fun. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.e-smith.org (development) http://www.e-smith.com (corporate) Phone: +1 (613) 368 4376 or 564 8000 Fax: +1 (613) 564 7739 e-smith, inc. 1500-150 Metcalfe St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1P1 Canada
