Description

PoPToP is the PPTP server solution for Linux (ports exist for Solaris 2.6, OpenBSD and FreeBSD and others). To date no real solution existed if you wished to include Linux servers in PPTP established VPNs. PoPToP resolves that problem by allowing Linux servers to function seamlessly in the PPTP VPN environment. This enables administrators to leverage the considerable benefits of both Microsoft and Linux. The current pre-release version supports Windows 95/98/NT/2000 PPTP clients and PPTP Linux clients. PoPToP is free GNU software.

The PoPTop pre-release server is not yet fully optimised. It has been released early so as to encourage other developers to become involved in its development. On release, PoPToP will be fully compliant with IETF PPTP Internet Draft and it will seamlessly support Windows PPTP clients with the full range of encryption and authentication features.

Features for version 1.0.0:

Works with Windows 2000 clients
Available PPPD patch allows Windows compatible encryption and authentication. (MSCHAPv2 and MPPE 40-128 bit RC4 encryption)
Support for multiple clients
Works with Windows 95/98/NT PPTP clients
Works with C. S. Ananian's PPTP Linux clients
PoPToP is, and will remain, totally free under the GNU General Public License

*: add LDFLAGS overide that was previously in mk

This is a workaround and should be fixed properly per-package - they should use the pkgsrc LDFLAGS, but this restores what happened before the mk/ cleanup. Fixes relro build for packages that do not honor LDFLAGS. Package list provided by mef@, thanks! Workaround commit requested by bsiegert on tech-pkg.
