AFAIK pptp uses the gre protocol and some udp port so add that to FW_SERVICES_EXT_IP/FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP.

Recent version of what? There will be no version updates for anything in released distributions. If the pptp-whatever package works despite --nodeps the dependencies specified in that package are apparently bogus. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Development V_/_ http://www.suse.de/
