On other FC box, I'm trying to up vpn link (only testing):
#pptp 10.25.100.10 name test
In /var/log/message on VPN server:
...
pptpd[4405]: CTRL: Client 10.25.100.100 control connection started
pptpd[4405]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd, opening GRE)
pptpd[4405]: GRE: Bad checksum from pppd.
pptpd[4405]: GRE: read(fd=9,buffer=8059660,len=8196) from PTY failed: status
= -1 error = Input/output error, usually caused by unexpected termination of
pppd, check option syntax and pppd logs
pptpd[4405]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed (pty,gre)=(9,10)
pptpd[4405]: CTRL: Client 10.25.100.100 control connection finished

Any ideas?
Any SELinux denials on either client or server?
Is there some good reason why you're setting up an VPN using PPTP rather
than the more secure openvpn (as recommended by the PPTP developers)?
