I think you did not read /usr/portage/net-dialup/pptpclient/pptpclient-1.7.2-
r2.ebuild :
"
DEPEND="net-dialup/ppp
dev-lang/perl
tk? ( dev-perl/perl-tk )"
RDEPEND="${DEPEND}
sys-apps/iproute2"
"
and 'man pptp':
"
By default, pptp establishes the PPTP call to the PPTP server, and then starts
an instance of pppd to manage the data transfer. However, pptp can also be run
as a connection manager within pppd.
"
In other words pptp works only in conjunction with pppd. My example configures
pptp:
'pptp ppp.lan --nolaunchpppd --nobuffer --loglevel 0'
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_PPTP_Internet - good howto
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/PPTP - not so good, in Gentoo we do not need to
touch anything in /etc/ppp/
P.S. Thank you for your work! Native support of Gentoo configs in NM is must-
have feature.
