[Bug 88986] Re: pppd cannot be configured to enable mppe but not require it

 

Thanks everyone for patch.
Is there any chance it will be included in upstream ?
I bet a lot of people need this, just nor everyone post something to launchpad...

Title:
  pppd cannot be configured to enable mppe but not require it

Status in “ppp” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ppp

  I am using PoPToP PPTP VPN server on Kubuntu 6.06. There is a problem
  configuring it. There are no a way to enable mppe (Microsoft Point-to-
  Point Encryption) but requiring it. As a result serving client with or
  without mppe at the same time is not possible. If mppe is enabled by
  require-mppe-128 all clients must negotiate and support it otherwise
  the server disconnects. If require-mppe-128 option is not present on
  the command line or in the option file it cannot be negotiated as mppe
  is disabled by default (and by the way nomppe option does not make any
  sense in such a case) and clients requiresting mppe would not connect.
