[Devil-linux-develop] PPTP - MPPE/MPPC kernel module for Linux

[Serge L. <se...@nn...>]

Dear Sirs,

I decided to use pptp connection with mppe/mppc possibility
The patch and manual were found here - http://free.polbox.pl/h/hs001/
> Although the module's source code is completely free, MPPC itself is
> patented algorithm. Patent for *Microsoft* PPC is holded by the Hifn
> Inc. This is obvious ;-). Furthermore, MPPE uses RC4[1] encryption
> algorithm which itself isn't patented, but RC4 is trademark of RSA
> Data Security Inc. To avoid legal problems, US citizens shouldn't
> use this module.     

After some minor changes in pptp-patch script it was rebuilt
successfully.

original, but repacked by bzip2
./src/linux-2.4.29-mppe-mppc-1.3.patch.bz2

http://free.polbox.pl/h/hs001/ppp-2.4.3-mppe-mppc-1.1.patch.gz
A little modified version - for using together with other ppp-patch
scripts (09_ppp-2.4.3-mppe-mppc-1.1.patch) is in the attachment

and, finally
in /etc/modules.conf
#alias ppp-compress-18  ppp_mppe
alias ppp-compress-18   ppp_mppe_mppc

PS. If IMQ path renew to http://www.linuximq.net/patchs/linux-2.4.28-imq2.diff
( I've saved it as IMQ-iptables-1.3.0.diff.bz2 )
then iptables will be able renew too (to 1.3.1) without any problems.
