PPP 2.4.3 patch creates the new flag SC_MUST_COMPRESS. This is set on CCP UP with MPPE enabled, and never cleared. The kernel uses this flag to drop packets which aren't compressed/decompressed properly when MPPE is enabled.
In the existing code, on SIGUSR2, CCP is renegotiated, and with MPPE enabled, LCP (and thus the link) is taken down, so the user can't disable MPPE after it's enabled on a link. 1) sync to kernel's include/linux/if_ppp.h copy, adding SC_MUST_COMPRESS 2) add SC_MUST_COMPRESS to include/net/if_ppp.h also 3) set SC_MUST_COMPRESS on CCP UP include/linux/if_ppp.h | 62 +++++++++++++++++-------------------------------- include/net/if_ppp.h | 1 pppd/ccp.c | 15 +++++++---- pppd/pppd.h | 2 - pppd/sys-linux.c | 6 +++- pppd/sys-solaris.c | 4 +-- 6 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-) Lightly tested, review much appeciated.
