meeting in KReSIT on 8th
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hi all, We can have a LUG meet at KReSIT, IIT Bombay on the 8th of Dec if all are interested. We have a choice between a classroom that can seat 50 people and the audi that can seat 200. I have temporarily booked both. Gods of the list, please confirm the meet, so that I can also announce on the IITB newsgroups. Is Sunday 4pm fine? Can't expect too many people from IIT, since most have left for home for the winter vacation. Jaju and Chetan please note, I won't be present on 8th. We need to ensure ITA takes care of the tea arrangements. I'll also try to see if I can get more details about the new "Affordable Computing Lab" that Prof. Phatak is planning in the dept. Agenda for the meet? Sameer. -- MTech Student, Reconfigurable Computing Lab, KReSIT, IIT-Bombay. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You will be a winner today. Pick a fight with a four-year-old.

PPTP on Linux
by Girish Hanchate 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Dear Devendra, Go to http://www.poptop.org & download the 1.01 version of PPTP.tar.gz file. rgds girish Hi I have been trying to make my Linux kernel MPPE and PPTP aware. Tried downloading the i386.rpms (for pptp and mppe) from pptpclient.sourceforge.net and proceeded as per the James Cameron's howto (for Psyche - RH 8.0). http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-redhat-80.phtml But, after proceeding through the entire cycle of rebuilding kernel modules et al, I still get a message (from pptp-command) that kernel is not supporting pptp. a) pppd daemon does not start...same excuse. Kernel release version 2.4.18-14 b) On further investigation (modprobe -v pptp or mppe); it shows up an error in a file called ppp_generic.o saying 'uresolved symbol' at various lines of code. c) # kernel-modules/kmodinst.sh kernel-modules/new-2.4.18-14/ When i perform this action ...module dependencies command returns some errors. Has anyone had any success in the same? Pls help...as I need to connect to my Cable ISP's VPN box (thru ethernet) to access email.
