Name : pptp
Product : Fedora 10
Version : 1.7.2
Release : 5.fc10
URL : http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/
Summary : Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Client
Description :
Client for the proprietary Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol, PPTP. Allows connection to a PPTP based VPN as used
by employers and some cable and ADSL service providers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update corrects the behaviour of pptpsetup when its --delete option is
used, retaining the permissions of /etc/ppp/chap-secrets rather than creating a
new file that is likely to be world-readable. If you have previously used the
--delete option of pptpsetup, you should reset the permissions of /etc/ppp/chap-
secrets to their default value of 0600 unless you have good reasons to use
another value: # chmod 600 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
