Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am trying to get a VPN going by running user PPP over SSH as per the example in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample but it does not seem to be working. It is failing in the PPP LCP negotiation phase. Can anybody provide more detailed example setup than is given in the default example configuration? I have no problems using either ssh nor ppp separately. One side is set to openmode active (the caller). It sends several LCP config requests but does not seem to get any responses. Then it quits due to "Exception detected on descriptor 2". The other side is set to openmode passive (the callee). It seems to be receiving and sending LCP config requests. My setup is FreeBSD 2.2.8 on one box FreeBSD 3.1 on the other box SSH 1.2.27 (not from Ports) on both Link is an Ethernet LAN I am getting a bit desparate at this stage. Any suggestions welcome.
