Only the steps are mentioned below.


1. Make sure devel package of the OpenVZ kernel is installed in HN.

 

2. Make sure TUN/TAP is enabled for the VE and PPTP VPN is installed and running.

 

3. Load all the PPP modules in HN

 

HN#

 

modprobe tun


modprobe ppp-compress-18


modprobe ppp_mppe


modprobe ppp_deflate


modprobe ppp_async


modprobe pppoatm


modprobe ppp_generic

 

4. Stop the VE

 

# vzctl stop {VEID}


5. From HN, run the below commands:

 

HN#


# vzctl set {VEID} --features ppp:on --save

# vzctl start {VEID}

# vzctl set {VEID} --devices c:108:0:rw --save

# vzctl exec {VEID} mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0

# vzctl exec {VEID} chmod 600 /dev/ppp

 

6. Login to VE and see if the 'pppd' command works.

 

VE#


# /usr/sbin/pppd

If you see some garbage values, it means it is enabled correctly.
