Fedora 13 source RPM:
pptpd-1.3.4-1.fc13.src.rpm MD5 8ccf41430af197e85ba7b67a0d6b95ea

Fedora 13 i386 RPM:
pptpd-1.3.4-1.fc13.i386.rpm MD5 904bcab3f58784a362499496ebdacb25

Fedora 13 x86_64 RPM:
pptpd-1.3.4-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm MD5 3d3209427d11981ef1827bd004e65736

I have commented out logwtmp in pptpd.conf, please see my previous post.

Tested with the following PPTP clients: Apple Mac OS X 10.6.4, Apple iPad (iOS 3.2.2), Apple iPhone 4 (iOS 4.1), Apple iPhone 3GS (iOS 4.1), Apple iPhone 3G (iOS 4.1), Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3, pptpclient 1.7.2, mpd 5.5.

Enjoy!

Please see below my solution to OpenSolaris bug ID 6908973, posted to xen-discuss list:

– set BIOS time to UTC

– set zone_info=UTC and zone_lag=0 in /etc/rtc_config

– set TZ=UTC in /etc/TIMEZONE

– enable ntpd

– after reboot the dom0’s time should be the correct UTC time

– shutdown all domUs; for each xVM domain remove the rtc_timeoffset

xm list -l domain | grep -v rtc_timeoffset > domain.sxp
xm new -F domain.sxp


– reconfigure each guest domain with BIOS time set to UTC

Hope this helps.

I have set up a CentOS mirror at http://centos.mirror.bradiceanu.net.

Of course, it’s IPv6 enabled.

Other hosted mirrors at mirror.bradiceanu.net.

Append the provider configuration to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf:

provider:
set device PPPoE:<interface>
set authname <PPPoE username>
set authkey <PPPoE password>
set dial
set login
add default HISADDR
enable lqr echo
enable dns
nat enable yes
set redial 2


Replace <interface> with your network interface towards the PPPoE server. Start the PPPoE client, as root: /etc/rc.d/ppp start

Enable PPPoE client at startup, append to /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_<interface>="up"
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_profile="provider"
ppp_mode="ddial"


Start the PPPoE client with /etc/rc.d/ppp start as root. The PPPoE interface is usually tun0.

After you create a Regular Tunnel at Hurricane Electric‘s tunnelbroker.net you will receive the following informations:

Server IPv4 Address
Server IPv6 Address
Client IPv4 Address
Client IPv6 Address
Routed /64

Solaris and OpenSolaris IPv6 tunnel setup

Create /etc/hostname6.ip.tun0 file:
tsrc Client_IPv4_Address tdst Server_IPv4_Address up
addif Client_IPv6_Address Server_IPv6_Address up

Add the permanent IPv6 default gateway:
route -p add -inet6 default Server_IPv6_Address

(Tested on Solaris 10 5/09 and 10/09, OpenSolaris 2009.06 and 2010.02 preview snv_127)

Linux (RHEL / Fedora / CentOS) IPv6 tunnel setup

Create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sit1 file:

DEVICE=sit1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6TUNNELIPV4=Server_IPv4_Address
IPV6TUNNELIPV4LOCAL=Client_IPv4_Address
IPV6ADDR=Client_IPv6_Address/64


Add the following to /etc/sysconfig/network file:

NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=sit1

(Tested with Fedora 11 and 12, CentOS 5.3 and 5.4)

FreeBSD IPv6 tunnel setup

Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf file:

gif_interfaces="gif0"
gifconfig_gif0="Client_IPv4_Address Server_IPv4_Address"
ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_network_interfaces="lo0 gif0"
ipv6_ifconfig_gif0="Client_IPv6_Address prefixlen 128"
ipv6_defaultrouter="Server_IPv6_Address"

(Tested with FreeBSD 6.4)

Create a 10 GB ZVOL for storage:
pfexec zfs create -V 10g rpool/f12d0

Install Fedora 12 domU:
pfexec virt-install -n f12 -r 512 --vcpus=4 -f /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/f12d0 -b e1000g0 --os-type=linux -p --nographics --os-variant=fedora11 -l http://fedora-12-mirror/fedora/linux/releases/12/Fedora/i386/os/

-n f12 – domU’s name
-r 512 – allocate 512 MB memory
–vcpus=4 – number of virtual CPUs allocated (make sure this number is lower or equal to the number of CPUs available)
-f /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/f12d0 – ZVOL block device
-b e1000g0 – bridged networking to e1000g0 interface
-p – paravirtualized guest
–os-variant=fedora11 – “hack” until fedora12 OS-Variant will be integrated into xVM
-l http://fedora-12-mirror/fedora/linux/releases/12/Fedora/i386/os/ – replace fedora-12-mirror with a near Fedora 12 mirror, replace i386 with x86_64 for 64-bit domU

After you bring up the network, do a VNC installation.
Until xVM supports ext4 boot, make sure to create an ext3 /boot partition (or just a big ext3 / filesystem)

After installation, start the domU:
pfexec xm start -c f12
You will be presented the pygrub menu, just press Enter to boot.

Log into the domU and change the default timeout=0 to a different value (e.g. 5 seconds) in /boot/grub/grub.conf. Now you can use virsh start / shutdown commands.

To auto-start the guest on host boot:
virsh autostart f12

Tested on OpenSolaris 2010.02 preview snv_127.

I’ve built a Fedora 12 Poptop rpm:

pptpd-1.3.4-1.fc12.i386.rpm MD5 bdab201d70e78abe40f873d71880f718

pptpd-1.3.4-1.fc12.src.rpm MD5 ebd64f47b0a40a7585e22a11cc4e2890

If you get this error message:
Plugin /usr/lib/pptpd/pptpd-logwtmp.so is for pppd version 2.4.3, this is 2.4.4
just comment out logwtmp option in /etc/pptpd.conf and restart pptpd with service pptpd restart.

Username/password pairs used for pptp authentication should be placed in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
# client server secret IP addresses
username * password


To supply a DNS server to PPTP clients, just add them to /etc/ppp/options.pptpd like ms-dns A.B.C.D.

To configure local and remote PPTP client’s IP address modify localip and remoteip options in /etc/pptpd.conf.

To enable pptp server at startup run chkconfig pptpd on.

Create a new Boot Environment:
pfexec beadm create devel

Mount the new Boot Environment:
pfexec mkdir /mnt/devel
pfexec beadm mount devel /mnt/devel


Use the dev publisher:
pfexec pkg -R /mnt/devel set-publisher -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev opensolaris.org

Update to the latest bits:
pfexec pkg -R /mnt/devel image-update -v

If everything went fine (after you read the Release Notes), activate the new BE:
pfexec beadm activate devel

Reboot:
pfexec shutdown -y -g1 -i6

Did this remotely. After reboot, system was up and running, including all xVM domU autostarted.

From Solaris Patch 119091-34

Problem Description:

6801126 libima should get over pkginfo love

I sure hope libima got over pkginfo love!
