I'm in the middle of setting up a VPN using ssh and ppp as
per the SSH/PPP VPN HOWTO.
I've got things set up as the instructions in the HOWTO
specify, but I'm getting errors when I try to bring the
VPN up. After some troubleshooting, I've got the problem
narrowed down to the slave box not allowing the master to
ssh in and start pppd:
# ssh -l vpn remotefw sudo /usr/sbin/pppd
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/vpn/.Xauthority
/usr/sbin/pppd: no device specified and stdin is not a tty
According to the docs, I should see garbage (probably LCP packets)
on doing this.
The .ppprc and /etc/ppp/options file both only contain 'passive'
as per the HOWTO as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Robbie
