[cobalt-security] Qube3 VPN ... Supports Broadcast?

[Malcolm McLeary <mmcleary@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

I have Remote Access VPN working, but I can't "discover" services.  The ones
which give me grief are AppleShare, Samba, Timbuktu, FileMaker, Apple Remote
Desktop, and Retrospect.  In most cases if I specify the host by IP all is
well, but Apple Remote Desktop refuses to work as it can't determine the
"status" of client machines.

Anyone know what the Qube3 PPTP software really is?

Is it PoPToP?

If so, any idea what version?

I've been having a look at the PoPToP site and there is a known problem for
versions <= 1.1.3 where Broadcasts don't make it to the VPN client.

If the Qube3 is running a version of PoPToP <= 1.1.3 then its likely that my
inability to "browse" is because Broadcasts don't make it to me over my VPN.

[admin admin]$ rpm -qa | grep pptp
base-pptp-capstone-1.0.1-2
base-pptp-glue-1.0.1-2
pptpd-1.0.1-C2
base-pptp-ui-1.0.1-2
base-pptp-locale-zh_TW-1.0.1-2
base-pptp-locale-zh_CN-1.0.1-2
base-pptp-locale-ja-1.0.1-2
base-pptp-locale-fr-1.0.1-2
base-pptp-locale-es-1.0.1-2
base-pptp-locale-en-1.0.1-2
base-pptp-locale-de-1.0.1-2
[admin admin]$ 

Looks like its pptpd-1.0.1-C2, but is it a "special" Cobalt version?

Anyone tried upgrading?

Cheers,  Malcolm
