Can't locate module ppp-compress-21

[Anonymous]

Hi
   My RH 7.3 found the [infamous] missing
modules msg for ppp-compress-21.

  I added the prescribed line 'alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp' to my
modules.conf file and rebooted.  No luck, same msg and problem.

  I looked in lib and found that I do not have bsd_comp.o and I will
confess that while I found the source, bsd_comp.c I have little
experience in building modules and a simple-minded 'make bsd_comp.o'
failed.

  Any help in how to get this module (or otherwise fix the problem) will
be greatly appreciated.

Try putting the entry "nobsdcomp" in your /etc/ppp/options.pptpd file.
