HELP! PPTP doesn't work anymore!

Yesterday I updated my ASL box to 4.008. Since that time the PPTP VPN access doesn't work anymore! I haven't changed any settings. I've already disabled and enabled the PPTP service, but with no effect. The same for deleting and re-creating the user. Can anyone help me?

You may try to start daemon with -D option, then it should work - ti require the stdin or tty - its a bug I suppose

THanks for the update. now, for a somewhat newbie, how would I copy this patch to the firewall without the web interface? I can make an SSH connection, but I cannot transfer a file to it as the session is denied. Is there an fTp client on the ASL?

Thanks.

uupps its version 3 meanwhile [;)]

Only the loginuser can transfer files either
to /tmp or to /home/login.

Thanks. Any reason why F-Scure SSH version 5.2 Build 36 doesn't work?

I have copied the package over to my ASL device.  I unpacked the files, and ran ./replace_pptp.sh.  I got three error messages:

iptables_nat: Device or resource busy
ip_conntrack:  Device or resource busy
ip_tables:  Device or resource busy

The restart of MiddleWare succeded.  Should I be concerned with the three messages I got from above?

Hi Chris,

somehow the modules could not be unloaded. If you get error messages like that, you need to restart your machine. After that the new modules should work fine.
