I think this is no problem with kernel 2.4, it's a general problem with linux devs. On 2.0 kernel I took the pty-redir source and replaced "pty" through "tty" (I think it was only in one or two places) and then it worked fine.

And as a side note (but less urgent): Is there an quick'n'easy'n'secure way to establish a VPN between a Windows XP computer and SuSE 7.3? Where to start reading?

Same problem I am on right now, thought whether there is a software for Windows that can tunnel GRE. iproute2 does. :) Tobi

Hi all!

I would like to set up a VPN between two SuSE Linux computers (v7.3). Can anyone recommend a good howto or software package? (Free of cost, if possible.)

I looked into the VPN-Mini-Howto from linuxdocs.org, but got stuck after a while because pty-redir doesn't seem to like kernel 2.4. And anyway, it looked rather like a home-brew than a proper solution. Currently, I am going through VPN-Masquerade-HOWTO. Is that good? Any tips? Thanks!

Best regards and thanks for your time, Michael

The way I achieved it is to run pppd with "pty <runslipr>" where runslirp is a script that starts slirp on the remote machine using ssh. /Michael -- This space intentionally left non-blank.
