Routing problems on VPN servers running FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE

[Li, Qing]

My merges from /base/head are in /stable/8
 
http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/stable/8/
 
Let's be sure you do have the right set of files. Can you verify your checked
out version of "in.c" is similar to the version I last modified in revision 203401 ??
 
http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/stable/8/sys/netinet/in.c?view=log
 
Then please report back the result of your verification.

Yup, that's what I did. I used /usr/share/examples/stable-supfile
with only one mod: I explicitly inserted the name of the mirror
into the file rather than using the -h command line option. I then
did a "make buildworld", a "make buildkernel", a "make
installkernel", a reboot, and a "make installworld" (followed by
"make delete-old", "make cleandir", and "make clean" for good
housekeeping). Didn't bother with mergemaster, because none of the
config files was going to need changing.

The routing and ARP mods that I brought in with the update didn't
make PPTP work. This likely means that not only PPP-based VPN
protocols but also some PPP dialup connections will not be fully
functional on 8.0-RELEASE or 8-STABLE. I'd be glad to provide
configuration files and firewall rules with which all of this can
be reproduced.
