Having looked into getting VPN to work from my NT at home
thru my LM7.1 firewall/IPmasq, I am annoyed !
I have read the VPN howto and linux VPN masquerade. The
former is if you want to create your own local VPN. The
latter one indicates that you must patch the source and
recompile the kernel.

You should create another account with limited privileges that you
