Fedora 10: 2010-4081 Major: PPTP Client Permissions Fix

Client for the proprietary Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling

Protocol, PPTP. Allows connection to a PPTP based VPN as used

by employers and some cable and ADSL service providers.

This update corrects the behaviour of pptpsetup when its --delete option is

used, retaining the permissions of /etc/ppp/chap-secrets rather than creating a

new file that is likely to be world-readable. If you have previously used the

--delete option of pptpsetup, you should reset the permissions of /etc/ppp/chap-secrets to their default value of 0600 unless you have good reasons to use

another value: # chmod 600 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
