openbsd-ports/net/pptp/pkg/MESSAGE

You will need to allow gre traffic for pptp to work:
	sysctl net.inet.gre.allow=1
pptp will automatically try to set this sysctl before opening a gre socket.

See http://www.schneier.com/pptp-faq.html for a list of security flaws.

ATTENTION:
Alcatel ADSL modems contain default logins with easily computed passwords.

You may want to use TCP/IP packet filter rules to prevent unauthorized 
access to your modem (from internal net or spoofed/bounced TCP/IP packets).
Update to version 1.7.1, from new maintainer Stefan Sperling. He also fixed wrong facts in the port's man page, updated MESSAGE accordingly, removed an obsolete script, and improved the example configuration. Thanks go to former maintainer Benoit LECOCQ, for having cared about the port the time before. ok sturm@ and me 2006-11-12 05:10:09 -05:00			`You will need to allow gre traffic for pptp to work:`

* Update maintainer email address. * Add detailed option descriptions to pptp(8) man page. * Move OpenBSD configuration examples from text file ${PREFIX}/share/doc/pptp/USING into pptp(8) man page, and remove patch to ${WRKSRC}/USING. Extend and revise examples while at it. * Add patch to ${WRKSRC}/util.c to make pptp log normal informational messages with level LOG_INFO instead of LOG_NOTICE. * Update pkg/DESCR with a new description based on upstream web site. * Fix URL to list of pptp security flaws in pkg/MESSAGE. * [Re-]Create patches with `make update-patches'. * Add patch to ${WRKSRC}/pptp_gre.c to automatically enable the net.inet.gre.allow sysctl before trying to bind the GRE socket. * Remove '@sysctl net.inet.gre.allow=1' from PLIST.
