Hi,

I have PoPToP for Bering. It's around on the LEAF site somewhere.
It's a bugger to get working, the version on the website has config
files that are not for openSSH. I tracked it all down and have a nice
server working for Win32 clients doing their "dial-in". 

When I get home I'll email you my stuff, sans passwords.

BUT (aha!)

Expect pain if she's running Win2K. I have a few people for whom it just
does not work.

Also, it's a bit flaky in the password department. Most of my users all
have the same username and password, because that's the only way it
works (it just don't work). 
I authenticate by DNS entries in the shorewall rules and my clients have
dynDNS accounts.

If you don't mind that it doesn't offer REAL security (like, keep the
government out), PPTP is nice and painless for your less IT friendly
clients.

James.

Subject: [leaf-user] Looking for a VPN Solution

I am running Bering 1.2 and am looking for a VPN solution for one of my
users.

Her ISP is Earthlink and she reports that here IP address changes 
frequently (every 30 minutes). She will be connecting with a Windows
client.

I have Freeswan working for others but their IPs are static. I have
tried 
OpenVPN but the LEAF software seg faults when a UDP connection is made
from 
a Windows Client and constantly reset if a TCP connection is made. Does 
anyone know what kernel version this code was compiled for?

I know it's a weak solution, but I need to also check out PPTP. Does
anyone 
have a version of POPTOP for Bering? All I can locate is the PPTP
client.
