 * The mppe-mppc flag overwrites the pppd native MPPE support with MPPE-MPPC
 * patch developed by Jan Dubiec.
 * The resulted pppd will work only with patched kernels with version <= 2.6.14.
 * You could obtain the kernel patch from MPPE-MPPC homepage:
 *    http://mppe-mppc.alphacron.de/
 * CAUTION: MPPC is a U.S. patented algorithm!
 * Ask yourself if you really need it and, if you do, consult your lawyer first.

The end of message is a yellow warnning, with beeps and so one.

I had it once in elogv, then, removed it from elogv, and from enotice (I know, it's not supported any more, but, it *works* !!! ).

I remerged ppp 4 times; I had 4 times the message in enotice, but, elogv only reported the harmless and useless

xLOG: postinst                                                                                                               x
xPon, poff and plog scripts have been supplied for experienced users.                                                        x
xUsers needing particular scripts (ssh,rsh,etc.) should check out the                                                        x
x/usr/share/doc/ppp-2.4.4-r24/scripts directory.

I remerged ppp the second time because i had forgotten which symbole was missing to my kernel; enotice told me which symbole i needed to add, elogv does not mind about ewarns. Even if i run elogv BEFORE enotice (to make sure enotice won't cut the grass under elogv).

It's because of this kind of bugs i am still using enotice, and refuse moving to elogv. This new attempt is a new proof.

To get the ppp message, emerge it with flag mppe-mppc

Hi!

Is a fix still needed?  Please try again with the latest 0.7.6.5, share your PORT_LOG* configuration and a case to reproduce.  Right now, I don't really see how to help.  Thanks!
