Good  News,

After working 3 more hours this morning,  I finally got the VPN stuff working. Here is my conslustions.


1.  The HOWTO documentation totally SUCKS!
2..  pty-redir.c had  a major flaw that caused issues with 2.4 kernels
3.  vpnd scripts SUCK!

The only way to remedy this problem is to create a new VPN howto and create one that does
the following:

1.  Works
2.  Explains in detail how and most importantly why to set things up
3. Discusses more on setting up SSH authentication


Excuse my rant but I've always had one problem witht he HOWTOS.  Software progresses much
faster than the documentation.   That is why I and other tend to stay away from them,  Maybe there are good HOWTOs that 
are reguarly updated.  I have not found one yet.   If anyone else wants to get VPN working just ask.

Chris
