I'm not sure if this is the right place to report a bug. I'm hoping this
problem has already been identified and a patch is available. Here is
the setup and issue:
I am attemting to set up a VPN per the VPN howto.
Distribution: Slackware-7.1
Kernel: 2.2.16
ppp: 2.3.11
The Linux machine has an ethernet connection to the corp. LAN. The
default route is set to point to a cisco router on the LAN.
The problem:
When attempting to connect to a ppp server, negotiation fails. The
message indicates the Peer is not authorized to use 172.24.1.1. If I
first delete the default route all works fine except that a default
route is set to the ppp device even though I haven't set the
defaultroute option. (I have checked /etc/ppp/options ~/.ppprc
options.tty(x) and /etc/ppp/peers/xxx) In attempting to isolate the
problem I have tried a plain dial-up connection and see the same
behavior. Again if a default route is already set, it fails. If not all
is well. It is very easy to re-create the problem. I am no C programmer,
but I am looking at the source and can't find where the defaultroute
opition is defined or processed. I have located default_device.
I really need to get his working!! Any help will be most appreciated.
