PPTPD(8) System Manager's Manual PPTPD(8)
NAME
pptpd - PPTP VPN daemon
SYNOPSIS
pptpd [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
pptpd is the Poptop PPTP daemon, which manages tunnelled PPP connections encapsulated in GRE using the PPTP VPN protocol. It may contain
features like IP address management and TCP wrappers if compiled in.
OPTIONS
Here we document the command line options. See pptpd.conf(5) for configuration directives, IP address allocation, routing, and firewall
rules.
-b|--bcrelay internal-interface
specifies that broadcasts received on the server's internal network interface should be relayed to the clients.
-c|--conf conf-file
specifies the configuration file for pptpd (default /etc/pptpd.conf)
-d|--debug
turns on debugging mode, causing more debugging messages to be sent to syslog.
-e|--ppp pppd-program
use pppd-program in place of the default pppd(8).
-f|--fg
run in the foreground instead of detaching from terminal
-h|--help
display program usage.
-i|--noipparam
do not send the client's IP address to ip-up scripts (required if you are using the pppd(8) ipparam option for some other purpose).
-l|--listen x.x.x.x
specifies the local interface IP address to listen on.
-o|--option ppp-conf-file
specifies that pptpd should specify an alternate configuration file for the ppp daemon (the default is normally /etc/ppp/options but
may vary depending on your ppp daemon).
-p|--pidfile pid-file
specifies an alternate location to store the process ID file (default /var/run/pptpd.pid).
-s|--speed baud
specifies that the speed baud should be passed to the ppp daemon as the tty speed to use (in some cases this is ignored by the ppp
daemon).
-t|--stimeout seconds
specifies the number of seconds to wait for the first packet before dropping the connection. This is a denial of service protection
feature.
-w|--logwtmp
update wtmp(5) as users connect and disconnect. See wtmp(1).
-C|--connections n
limits the number of client connections that may be accepted. Corresponds to the connections option in pptpd.conf. If pptpd is
allocating IP addresses (e.g. --delegate is not used) then the number of connections is also limited by the remoteip option in
pptpd.conf.
-D|--delegate
delegates the allocation of client IP addresses to pppd(8). Without this option, which is the default, pptpd manages the list of IP
addresses for clients and passes the next free address to pppd. With this option, pptpd does not pass an address, and so pppd may
use radius or chap-secrets to allocate an address.
-v|--version
displays the current version of the pptp daemon.
FILES
/etc/pptpd.conf
/var/run/pptpd.pid
DEBUGGING
To turn on debugging, add 'debug' to /etc/pptpd.conf and your PPP options file, and restart pptpd.
Typically the PPP options file is options.pptpd in /etc/ppp, though on some distributions it may be pptpd-options. Use your package man-
ager to find it, e.g. 'rpm -ql pptpd | grep options' or 'dpkg --listfiles pptpd | grep options'.
You may need to configure syslogd to catch debug messages. e.g. edit /etc/syslog.conf and add something similar to the example below, then
restart syslogd.
# debug logging
*.debug;mail.none /var/log/debug
This will log all debug information, except mail, to the file /var/log/debug. Note that this is a lot of information and might flood your
disks. If performance is an issue, you can try turning off sync during your debugging, by prefixing the destination with '-'.
# debug logging
*.debug;mail.none -/var/log/debug
Disable this line and restart syslog after you are done debugging. See the syslog man pages for more details.
