However, in order to use Poptop with Microsoft's VPN client you'll need to be using the embarrasingly insecure Microsoft PPTP implementation. Bruce Schneier and Mudge of L0pht discovered some very serious security flaws in the Microsoft implementation that everyone thinking of actually deploying MS-PPTP must consider. See here for the details: http://www.schneier.com/pptp-faq.html http://www.schneier.com/pptp.html Basically, they found that MS-PPTP is worthless as a VPN, and they advise strongly that people stick to IPsec if they want a VPN that has a chance of being secure. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
