RE: [cobalt-users] MS-CHAP2 and MPPE on Qube3

[Thierry Blanchard <Thierryb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've downloaded the following versions:
PPPD version is 2.3.11
PPPTPD (PoPToP) version is 1.0.1

I've been able to force CHAP-MS-V2 but it refuses forcing encryption.

the 'lsmod' command returns:
Module                  Size  Used by
ppp_mppe               10772   0 

The module is at both directories:
/lib/modules/2.2.16C7/net/ppp_mppe.o
/usr/src/linux-2.2.16C7/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.o with a size of 12896 bytes.

I've included the following line in my /etc/modules.conf:
alias ppp-compress-18 ppp_mppe

My /etc/ppp/options file is:
lock
auth
name pptpd
debug
require-chapms-v2
+chapms-v2
proxyarp
mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless
require-mppe
require-mppe-stateless


And when trying a encrypted connection, the /var/log/messages returns:
Nov 27 10:48:37 localhost pptpd[27778]: CTRL: Client 66.119.27.226 control
connection started

Nov 27 10:48:37 localhost pppd[27779]: In file /etc/ppp/options:

Nov 27 10:48:37 localhost pptpd[27778]: GRE:

Nov 27 10:48:37 localhost pptpd[27778]: CTRL: Client 66.119.27.226 control

[root log]# 

Knowing that the Qube3 is connecting to the Internet with PPPoE, does the
ppp_mppe module has any implications?
Any idea why is the ppp_mppe not recognozing the require-mppe?
