After upgrade, the OSPF doesn't propagate the routes created by PPPoE daemon...

In the prior release if a client connects via PPPoE, the IP is distributed on the entire network.

[tony]

Thank you for the information. Can you verify that your OSPF configuration doesn't need updating, as the new OSPF service may have additional settings for this behavour.

Thanks!

Tony, look:

The command "router zebra" don't work on OSPF daemon...maybe used only on quagga daemon. How to do this?

[tony]

Can you PM me your OSPF configuration?
"show running-config"

Thanks!

Was just upgrading some old starOS customer routers, and noticed that the starOS PPTP client is broken in the entire 2.00.3 beta series.
Started with b6, then b5, b3, b1, and finally 2.00.2 before I got the PPTP client to connect to our poptop server using mppe 128 bit encryption.

I don't know if its a encryption problem or what with the 2.00.3 beta series. I know that the 2.00.3 beta series can pass thru pptp just fine, since I have it on many of our towers, and our customers have been able to connect just fine.

Thank you, we will take a look into this.

Shame on all you starOS customers. We bugged the heck out of tony and lonnie to add a pptp client to starOS, and it's been broken for months and nobody notices...

We're used to it. Everybody "needs" what we don't have.
