Summary

Client for the proprietary Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling

Protocol, PPTP. Allows connection to a PPTP based VPN as used

by employers and some cable and ADSL service providers.

This update corrects the behaviour of pptpsetup when its --delete option is

used, retaining the permissions of /etc/ppp/chap-secrets rather than creating a

new file that is likely to be world-readable. If you have previously used the

--delete option of pptpsetup, you should reset the permissions of /etc/ppp/chap-secrets to their default value of 0600 unless you have good reasons to use

another value: # chmod 600 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

* Wed Mar 25 2009 Paul Howarth 1.7.2-5

- Retain permissions on /etc/ppp/chap-secrets when using pptpsetup (#492090)

- Use upstream versions of patches

- Re-enable parallel build; Makefile dependencies now fixed

- Use perl rather than sed to edit Makefile, for spec compatibility with

ancient distro releases

* Thu Feb 26 2009 Fedora Release Engineering - 1.7.2-4

- Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild

[ 1 ] Bug #492090 - passwords stored in world readable file
