-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-5785 2009-06-02 13:29:37 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pptp Product : Fedora 11 Version : 1.7.2 Release : 6.fc11 URL : http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Client Description : Client for the proprietary Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol, PPTP. Allows connection to a PPTP based VPN as used by employers and some cable and ADSL service providers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update removes the checking in pptpsetup for MPPE support in the kernel and pppd when creating a tunnel, since MPPE is included out of the box in Fedora 11. The checks required the "strings" program, and hence would fail if the binutils package (which includes the "strings" program) was not installed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Jun 1 2009 Paul Howarth <[email protected]> 1.7.2-6 - Don't check for MPPE capability in kernel and pppd unless we're creating a tunnel that requires encryption - Don't check for MPPE capability in kernel and pppd at all because current Fedora releases and EL >= 5 include MPPE support out of the box (#502967) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #502967 - PPTP's binutils dependence https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502967 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update pptp' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.
