Don't needlessly restrict bugs, the checkboxes are not there as a cool toy. Post emerge --info and reopen then.

Confirmed. Until we solve the segfault, you should specify your desired number of connections through the configuration file like this: connections 2048 It doesn't make sense to add a USE flag for this since it is only a default value of a parameter which could be set on command line or through the configuration file. As for MAX_IFS constant defined in pppd's sources, I don't see the point in increasing its value either. It is used to scan for network settings on non-ppp&non-lo local interfaces. Such kind of interfaces tend to be permanent and started before pppX interfaces so I believe get_ether_addr() is in no danger of missing some of your network interfaces, as long as you don't have more than 99 Ethernet cards (highly unlikely).

Yep. its good news and this variant make me happy =) > As for MAX_IFS constant defined in pppd's sources, I don't see the point in > increasing its value either.

I was think MAX_IFS limiting ppp connections +) if i be mistaken - sorry =) Thank you for your kind thought of me ;)
fixed in 1.3.2. the original version still had this bug, but I've fixed it with a patch.

what pptpd.conf do you have?

I use radius... but it try allocate ip from /etc/pptpd.conf added to file: remoteip 192.168.0.1-254,192.168.1.1-254,192.168.2.1-254,192.168.3.1-254,192.168.4.1-254,192.168.5.1-254,192.168.6.1-254,192.168.7.1-254,192.168.8.1-254 and it run 2048 connections.... thanks all
If you'll look in file pptpd.c at line 355 and look at the way processIPStr() is implemented, you will understand what is happening. You should use --delegate if you want to manage IP addresses from radius.
