Folks, I just installed the new POPTOP server (v1.1.4b4) , along with PPPd (v 2.4.2) on a Redhat system. Linux prism 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux. I am using a WinXP Pro client to connect to my Redhat server that houses the POPTOP server. I have been able to connect (albeit after a lot of headaches) My question is: 1. Can the POTOP server authenticate incoming users against: - an LDAP server? - an arbitrary User DB (preferably RDBMS, like MySQL) If so, how might one configure the PPTPd configurations to support the above options. 2. Can the PPTPd server log structured / formatted events: - in syslog - in a user defined logfile - in a socket descriptor instead of a file? Any help appreciated!! Thanks, -AA
