Hi all, I got recently a N9 and so I'm new to the forum. It seems no one had implemented a working PPTP solution, so I ventured into the implementation of it, because I need it absolutely to work. It is still work in progress, but i'm stuck with a trouble, so I need help form someone more experinced.

Here brief instructions:

Prerequisites: opensudo, aegis installer hacking, aegisctl

Download my 3 deb files and install them, then
Code:
sudo aegisctl -sk
(in order to load kernel modules and start pppd)

Configure vpn tunneling following this guide http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ho...figure_by_hand
then start ppp daemon (kernel modules should be loaded automatically)
Code:
sudo pppd call $TUNNEL logfd 2 nodetach debug dump
Well, after this command my N9 reboots

N.B My kernel modules are compiled against stock PR 1.3 kernel, so they work only with it. Finally, I'm sure the cause of trouble is not the modules because they load fine with modprobe command.

Any help is appreciated for fixing this trouble. Thanks and sorry for my english

EDIT: If it can help, here the log:
Code:
~/MyDocs $ sudo pppd call vpntest logfd 2 nodetach debug dump

...then reboot...

EDIT 2: my new post is still moderating, so I edit this message.
I found another strange thing...
If I do just aegisctl -k (without -s parameter), the pppd command log is:
Code:
/home/developer $ sudo pppd call vpntest logfd 2 nodetach debug dump
pppd options in effect:

The system is going down for reboot NOW!
Ignore the "sh: pptp: Operation not permitted", as it should be caused by the missing -s from aegisctl.
So there is something that sends a reboot signal after the execution of pppd process. What can be it and why?
