Hi all!

just did my configuration for PPTP internet access. When I did my first test, because of a network problem, the DSL modem was unreachable for the router.

What happed was that I ended up with alot of pppd error messages in the system saying:

Jan  1 01:17:20 OpenWrt daemon.err pppd[1118]: Couldn't allocate pseudo-tty
Jan  1 01:17:20 OpenWrt daemon.err pppd[1118]: Couldn't allocate pseudo-tty
Jan  1 01:17:20 OpenWrt daemon.err pppd[1118]: Couldn't allocate pseudo-tty

IMHO it looks like this is a problem/bug of pppd 2.4.3, please see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=325705

The problem is really annoying, because with all the pseudo-tty's in use by pppd you cannot login via ssh!

Is there a convenient way to replace the pppd with the newer pppd-2.4.4 which appears to be fixed?
