CentOS 5 VPN Server won't work
- by Miro Markarian
I have a CentOS 5 server configured to be both a L2TP server and a PPTP server + a radius server for hosting the AAA.
My problem is that, the L2TP works great and I can connect to it, but can't connect to PPTP and every-time it ends up with error #619 when it gets to the verifying username and password section.
Here is the log I got from /var/log/messages

Just yesterday when I hadn't set up the L2TP yet PPTP was working great but then I uninstalled it and removed all it's config from /etc/* and installed L2TP first and then installed PPTP after it. and then it stopped to work.
I believe it must be a radiusclient issue because both of the PPTP and L2TP services use radius to authenticate.
And another thing I think must be the issue is that when assigning IPs to the PPP interfaces, I have done the following config. Is that right?
For L2TP:
localip 10.10.10.1
remoteip 10.10.10.2-254
For PPTP:
localip 10.10.9.1
remoteip 10.10.9.2-254
