FreeBSD dweorh 10.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p2 #0: Tue Apr 29 17:06:01 UTC 2014 root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
>Description:
Having given the appropriate definition in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, I run the pptp command to create a tunnel. I get an error about failing to find the Linux ip command and the tunnel is not created:
root at dweorh:/home/gdwatson # pptp 1.2.3.4 VPNName
/bin/ip: not found
/bin/ip: not found
ifconfig reveals no tunnel.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install pptpclient, put PPTP VPN connection information in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, and run pptp with IP address and name of the connection.
>Fix:
The upstream web site advertises Free/Net/Open-BSD support, so my (perhaps naive) expectation is that there's a build problem somewhere and not an undeclared upstream dependency on Linux-only network utilities.
