Ive been playing with pptp recently, one machine worked flawlessly (test
machine) the other 2 (client boxes) I tried this with gave me the same
error you have, I went rounds with this for some time. My solution was to
chmod 775 /dev/pts which seemed to fix the problem on the 2 problematic
machines. Im running kernel-2.4.3 and pppd-2.4.0 with mppe patch.
This error is your problem:
>May 10 08:11:38 Linux GW pptpd[6812]: GRE:
>read(fd=4,buffer=804d8c0,len=8196) from PTY failed: status = -1 error =
>Input/output error
>May 10 08:11:38 Linux GW pptpd[6812]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed
>(pty,gre)=(4,5)
It should look something like this:
Apr 13 14:45:06 death pppd[16116]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1
What kernel, pppd are you running?
