Slightly OT, but I have been looking into VPN for a couple of days - I have bases in two countries and might find it useful - but I had been led to pptpd (also known as poptop), which I started to install. I wonder what the relative merits of openvpn and pptp are? One possible advantage of pptp seems to be that it works well with shorewall, which I use as a firewall, and one of the few lucid accounts of pptp I found was a very clear document by Tom Eastep, the shorewall king. On the other hand, openvpn seems to be much better documented. What is slightly curious is that I didn't come across it when googling for "vpn fedora" or "vpn linux". -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
