I have asked this before and received no indication if others where or even where not having this problem but with the recent number of user ppp vs kernel ppp I thought it was a good time to reask it. Has anyone successfully used Kerberos over a user ppp connection? In my particular case, the request for a ticket is sent but nothing ever returns. Watching the traffic on the ppp server side, I can see the request going to the kerberos server but the response is never returned. The interesting part is with kernel ppp everything is fine - the request is sent and a response is returned. The failure of user ppp in this case is troublesome. User ppp appears to be mucking something up which makes the kerberos server send the response to the wrong place or ignore the request. If user ppp is mucking around with this type of packet how many other types is it mutating? In all fairness, this is the first trouble that I have had with user ppp. As for switching to kernel ppp, FreeBSD's kernel ppp does not appear to support compression as well as user ppp. NetBSD's kernel ppp is very nice in this regard... perhaps some of NetBSD's additions could be migrated to FreeBSD. Thanks.
