Re: mpd pptp server?

I have tried some different ways to make a working VPN server on FreeBSD 7.0.
The main goal is to make it possible for Windows clients to access their
Samba home shares. I'm not sure if mpd is the best solution, but I will give
it a try.
I have installed /usr/ports/mpd4 and have the following configuration:

You'll do much better in freebsd-net@ with this. I've copied Alexander
Motin, current author/maintainer, as he may not be watching questions@.

==============/usr/local/etc/mpd4/mpd.conf============
startup:
<don't know what to put in here...>

Stuff like configuring the console and/or web interface, logging etc.

default:
load pptp1


I'm not sure whether leading whitespace on non-label lines is still
required as with ppp.conf, but it can't hurt to follow the examples.

pptp1:
new -i ng0 pptp1 pptp1
set iface disable on-demand
set iface enable proxy-arp
set iface idle 0
set iface enable tcpmssfix
set bundle enable multilink
set link yes acfcomp protocomp
set link no pap chap
set link enable chap
set link keep-alive 10 60
set ipcp yes vjcomp
set ipcp ranges 192.168.1.4/32 192.168.1.151/32
set ipcp dns 192.168.1.4
set ipcp nbns 192.168.1.4
set link disable pap
set bundle enable compression
set ccp yes mppc
#set ccp yes mpp-e40
set ccp yes mpp-e128
set ccp yes mpp-stateless
#set bundle enable crypt-reqd

==============/usr/local/etc/mpd4/mpd.linksf============

I assume 'mpd.linksf' is a typo ..

pptp1:
set link type pptp ## define the link type protocol as PPTP
set pptp self 192.168.1.4 ## define the IP address on which MPD will run
set pptp enable incoming ## define the connection as Incoming
set pptp disable originate ## enables PPTP connection for communication with the client

And then I also have a mpd.secrets file of course.

I can start the service, but I don't see any pptp interface after an
ifconfig command. And netstat -an does not show any port 1723 listening.

Do I need to have a customized kernel to make it work? Or are there any
obvious errors in the above configuration?

Can't help with pptp, I only use pppoe, but have posted this to bring it
to Alexander's attention. He'll most likely want to see some logging ..

cheers, Ian
