Hi,

The developers for OpenWRT did a great job.

For me the box is a great toy to explore. Unfortunately I came to a point where I think I need help:

I installed the pptp-server package, changed the chap-secrets, checked the option files, set debug und logfile options and started the server daemon.

To be save I erased all iptable rules - for the moment of course...

When I try to connect from via wlan, each time the logfile gets an entry "Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument" and the connection fails.

I cannot find information to solve this. Can anybody give me an hint or publish a set of config files, which a known to work?

Stefan

Maybe this thread could help you:

Thank you for the hint.

The mentioned thread is related to pptp and firewall rules. I disabled all filtering for the tests. So this was not the issue.

New ideas are still welcome...

Hi Stefan,

if you're using a recent CVS snapshot, you should install the following packages: · kmod-ppp-mppe-mppc
· kmod-ppp-async

and if you're not using the pptp-server init script, don't forget to load the appropriate kernel modules manually

insmod ppp_async
insmod ppp_mppe_mppc

the first should solve your "line discipline" problem and the later will provide encryption/compression kernel support to ppp.

Hi Nico,

you made my day!

The pptp package did not install these two module packages. The pptp-server init script tried to load the modules, but sent all error messages to /dev/null. Now it works great. Thank you.
