PPTP VPN Client Error Message

Post by hchris » 2015/12/25 17:14:32

PPTP VPN server and PPTP VPN client have been set up on two CentOS hosts.
Below error message captured from the PPTP VPN Client /var/log/messages. I suspected it could fail in session negotiation aroung 17:57 later and finally timer was expired and the PPTP works abnormally. I am not sure what it means for below red message. Can anyone help the root cause and how to fix this issue ?

That means pvcd crashed (probably trying to write to somebody elses memory). Where did you get your PPTP client from?
