So I went ahead anyway and performed the suggested actions except before each rpm download/install I first tested with yum and this worked partly: yum install dkms rpm --install kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.5-2dkms.noarch.rpm modprobe ppp-compress-18 && echo success yum install pptp yum install libxml libglade rpm --install php-pcntl-4.3.10-1.i386.rpm rpm --install php-gtk-pcntl-1.0.1-2.i386.rpm rpm --install pptpconfig-20040722-6.noarch.rpm For the last 3 I received warnings about DSA key missing and users and groups missing. Now I am stuck at the "run pptpconfig as root" command... When I enter pptpconfig in the terminal window that I created as user and then did su - to get to root, the response is: "command not found" This happens on the line following the rpm --install of the pptpconfig rpm. Did I miss something obvious here? Root is supposed to be able to execute pptpconfig, and it is installed, yet root does not see it???? And I have no idea at all *where* pptpconfig got installed so I cannot put an explicit path to it either... Bo Berglund
