--X)uD7_BC6CtVqM=. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit hey, okay, please ignore my previous post... i sniffed around and found out that the ppp process was kill(TERM)'ed by pptp itself. wondering why this happened led to this conclusion: the pptp server is wrong configured. it's address may be `vpngw1'. it also tells `vpngw1' as peer address for the ppp session. this means that a routing loop is produced: packets that are destined for vpngw1 (peer) are tunneled to vpngw1 (tunnel endpoint). but this again means that this packed is destined for vpngw1 - the packet in turn must be tunneled. mpd rejects this by noting "would cause routing loop". freebsd itself notes that by stating "resource lock avoided" and denying routing of such packets. this was the reason pptp couldn't send GRE packets and quit without failure notice. thanks for your attention, simon -- /"\ http://corecode.ath.cx/#donate \ / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign / \ Against HTML Mail and News --X)uD7_BC6CtVqM=.
