PPTP (MPD5) not creating Ng0 interface

[vitek]

I am trying to setup an PPTP connection from my freenas box to a VPN provider.
I have installed the mpd5 via the pkg_add -r command. And i have configured an mpd.conf(its in the correct location, double checked this) file see below:

Code:

startup:

default:
load pptp_client


pptp_client:
#
# PPTP client: only outgoing calls, auto reconnect,
# ipcp-negotiated address, one-sided authentication,
# default route points on ISP's end
#
create bundle static B1
#set iface route default
set ipcp ranges 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
create link static L1 pptp
set link action bundle B1
set auth authname ********
set auth password ********
set link max-redial 0
set link mtu 1500
set link keep-alive 20 75
set pptp peer vpn.anonine.net
set pptp disable windowing
open

But i cant seem to even get the Ng0 interface up. When i start the mpd5 daemon with the "/etc/local/rc.d/mpd5 start" command i get the output

Code:

/etc/local/rc.d/mpd5 start
Starting mpd5.

Then nothing else and when i check my interfaces there is no Ng0 interface up.

Code:

ifconfig
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>

I dont seem to get what is causing this. If anyone can help i would appriciate it.

I get this in the log when starting mpd5. Seems that some modules are missing from the kernel. Anyone know if its possible to enable these in Freenas? I think its the ng modules (netgraph) not sure though.

 

[vitek]

I have solved it and have everything working. After loading the netgraph modules MPD5 is now starting correctly and everything is working fine. Just wanted ppl to know if they are in the same situation.

Hi Vitek

I have a similar problem to you but can't find how to load the netgraph modules. Could you please tell me how you did it?

Thanks

 

[vitek]

I dont remember exactly how I did it but what I do remember is that i took the modules from the Freebsd iso and put them along with the default freenas modules.

 

[Cliff McLoughlin]

Thanks. I'm a Windows man who is new to Linux/Unix. When you say you put the modules from the iso and put them with the freenas modules, what exactly do you mean? Your post was the only one I could find that even started to help me get to the bottom of my issue.

 

[vitek]

Well basically I took the FreeBSD iso and mounted it with deamontools took and copied the modules to the folder with freenas modules. I think i used filezilla ftp to transfer the files.

Sorry to be a pain. I've downloaded the FreeBSD ISO and mounted it but I've no idea how to find the modules. Can you please give me some pointers?

 

[vitek]

Its probably in the kernel folder. I think it was /boot/kernel , you are looking for .ko files
