Re: pptp connection fails

[Antony J Mee <A J Mee ncl ac uk>]

Hi aj2r,

This is the bug that stopped me finishing the PPTP stuff.  I mentioned 
it on the list a couple
of months ago hoping someone might be able to assist.

I haven't checked in the DBUS stuff for the pppd plugin to handle 
password and user info
so presently one has to hard code it in at compile time!! It was put 
like this because I thought
it was dbus causing this crash.  But even this simplified version fails :-(

What happens is that the nm-pptp-service segfaults.  Amazingly it 
manages to bring the whole
of NM down with it.  I spent ages trying to find the bug, but have 
failed so far (plus NM hasn't
been working for me since before Christmas so I haven't been motivated 
to get it sorted out,
I think it is working again now though)

One way to see more detail this is to run nm-pptp-service interactively, 
then start "NetworkManager --no-daemon"
in another terminal.  I suppose I could strace nm-pptp-service. Didn't 
think of that before.
