Package: pptp-linux
Version: 1.7.2-4-alex01
Severity: wishlist
Hi
when pptp-linux starts up it adds a host route to the default routing table
I don't want this it interfers with my secure vpn client.
I have attached a path that make pptp look at the envoronment for
pptp_nohostroute - it will not add any host route at all
pptp_hostroute_tab - if it is going to add a host route add it to table x
x is the value of pptp_hostroute_tab
I have test on my system and it work, don't see any reason why it would
have a problem any where else
