Why does pptp say Call Manager is already running
Scott Ellsworth
I am trying to set up pptp from my linux box (directly on the net) to a
pptp server. It is giving me grief.
The names, passwords, and numbers below have been changed, but they are
consistent
The pptp server is internally known as PPS, but has no external dns name
The domain is INTDOM
The ip of the server is 123.456.789.123
My user name over there is scottremote
My password is scottpass
I am running ppp 2.3.7-2, and pptp-linux-1.02. I will also want to do
the masq thing, but not until I have it working from this side.
When I say
./pptp 123.456.789.123 debug name INTDOM\\scottremote remotename PPS
kdebug 7 noauth
I get the response
warn[open_unixsock:pptp_callmgr.c:308]: Call manager for
123.456.789.123 is already running.
fatal[callmgr_main:pptp_callmgr.c:124]: Could not open unix socket for
123.456.789.123
Call manager exited with error 256
Now, this machine is on the net via a cable modem, and so already has a
route to the outside. My understanding is that after pptp connects
with ppp, I add a new route. Before I can do that, though, I need it
to connect and the ppp interface to come up. The machine does not use
ppp in any other way.
I do not want this to kill my other routes, since this machine does
firewall for other machines.
What am I doing wrong?

you need to delete the lock file in /var/run/pptp/. I can't remeber it's
name but it'll be obvious once you see it.
If you get this working, please let me know - I'm on to other
authentication probs :)
