Poptop-1.1.4 beta2 released
I just uploaded pptpd-1.1.4-b2 to sourceforge.
There's a tarball and a RPM.
I need guinneapigs ;-)
Tested:
* RedHat 7.x
* SuSE 8.1
* Mandrake 8.2 (custom patched 2.4.19 kernel, compiled using uClibc 0.9.15)
When installing from source, you'll need to add --with-bcrelay to ./configure
You need to add the option "bcrelay <internal interface>" to /etc/pptpd.conf to make it work.
Broadcast Relay is implemented, so the browselists of LAN-games over PPTP are shown. The Network Neighborhood browselist is somewhat more difficult, need more testing/data for that.
It gets it's outgoing (ppp-)interface by comparing the pppd pid with the contents of /var/run/ppp*.pid, if equal, then it takes the filename till the dot, which is the ppp-interface on Linux.
I have only implemented it for pppd. I don't know SLIRP or BSD userland ppp, so I need people giving me pointers for that.
The proctitle got changed, so it displays the call-id
Killing of pppd (and bcrelay, if enabled) after client disconnect is handled properly now.
TODO before final release of 1.1.4:
* IP-pools for different usergroups
* Make the logentries more verbose
* Fix the ip-up zombie process bug
* Better handling of call-id's (Ilguiz Latypov's patch)
Other tasks:
* RPM-package pppd-2.4.2
Also finished:
Initial documentation site (http://poptop.sf.net/ )
Any comments, bugs, or whatever about 1.1.4 (and the documentation site) can be mailed to me.
Happy VPN-ing.....
Regards,
Richard

Documentation site started
I've started working on the documentation for the project. All help (hints, docs, possitive criticism ;-) is appreciated. Because of it's greater flexibility (in comparison to DocMan), the documentation is located at http://poptop.sourceforge.net/.

Submit to Trackers only when logged in
I've closed the possibility for non-logged in users to submit something to the Trackers (Bugs, Features, Patches & Support).
I'm all for everyone being able to submit, but when there's no information about the submitter, it's very hard to respond to it and the items stay open, even if there really resolved. So excuse me for restricting access to logged in users only, but I feel it will enhance the quality of service.

ppp-2.4.2 has built in MPPE support, but......
naming of the options have changed to comply to ppp standards:
PPP 2.4.0 unofficial naming / PPP 2.4.2 official naming
+chapms / +mschap
+chapms-v2 / +mschap-v2
mppe-40 / +mppe-40
(do not use in conjunction with +mppe-128)
mppe-128 / +mppe-128
(do not use in conjunction with +mppe-40)
mppe-stateless / nomppe-stateful
(this is the default anyway, you'd have to use mppe-stateful to turn it off)
According to the documentation on the pptpclient site, where I got this from, this should work (but it didn't for me):
require-chapms-v2 / refuse-pap refuse-chap refuse-mschap refuse-eap
(a client cannot require a method of authentication of itself, the "require" forms of these options are intended for use by servers, and if used on a client will force authentication of the server by the client)
