Hmm, I vaguely remember this from quite a while back.
iirc, it was caused by the pptp package bundling its own (out of date)
ppp_generic module. The kernel rpm does include ppp_generic.ko, and it's
not reliant upon any of those symbols.
MPPE support in pptp prior to kernel 2.6.15 required an out-of-tree
ppp_mppe module, which in turn required a patched ppp_generic. From
2.6.15, MPPE support is included in the upstream kernel and no fiddling
with out-of-tree modules is needed.
That's probably the clue I need, thanks. The offending system was
upgraded from FC3 (2.6.12 kernel) to FC5 whereas the trouble-free system
was a fresh FC5 install. So I guess I just need to strip out the old
mppe stuff and possibly refresh some of the newer stuff to make sure the
latest file versions exist.
