Title: VPN Problem after Udpates
Post by: GTS on November 18, 2007, 10:00:37 PM

  After processing some updates yesterday VPN functionality is broken.  Clients are promptly disconnected with an Error 734 message.  The Message log shows "MPPE Required, but kernel has no support."  I researched that message and think I see the problem.
  There is no ppp_mppe.o file.  In /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.0.12.EL/updates/ppp I see  ppp.generic.ko and ppp.mppe.ko files.  It appears to me that an update deleted the prior ppp_mppe.o then failed to replace it. 

#pppd --version returns pppd version 2.4.4
$modprobe ppp-compress-18 results in - FATAL: Module ppp_mppe not found.

I would appreciate any information on how to repair this.

You may be able to get your VPN back by manually selecting the previous kernel from the console screen when booting.

Moving this topic to the SME 7.x Server forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks!

I notice that you haven't done yet. Please do, so that you can answer the questions asked in the bug report.

Mike, please don't open bugs for others. We need users to open their own bug reports, so that we can get the followup information from them.
