Can't get MPD5 to start in FreeNAS Jail

[Cliff McLoughlin]

I am trying to get MPD 5 to run in a FreeNAS jail. I have followed the instructions on a number of sites but when I start the MPD5 service I get the following in the log:

Jun 23 16:01:22 Plugins mpd5: Multi-link PPP daemon for FreeBSD
Jun 23 16:01:22 Plugins mpd5:
Jun 23 16:01:22 Plugins mpd5: process 51422 started, version 5.7 (root@Plugins 15:24 23-Jun-2013)

Jun 23 16:01:22 Plugins mpd5: LinksInit(): can't create socket node: Operation not permitted.

My rc.conf has:

# MPD5
mpd_enable="YES"
mpd_flags="-b -s mpd5"
gateway_enable="YES"
arpproxy_all="YES"
and my mpd.conf:
##
startup:
# Setup console user, password and level
set user admin pw admin
set console self 127.0.0.1 5005
set console open
set web self 0.0.0.0 5006
set web open
##
default:
load pptp_server
##
pptp_server:
## The pptp server section has two parts, Bundle Layer and Link Layer
# Setup the PPTP bundle
create bundle template MYVPN
# Range of addresses for PPTP DHCP clients (first IP - Last IP in DHCP pool)
set ippool add pool1 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.58
# Enable proxy-arp for routing

set bundle enable encryption

set ccp yes mppc
40-bit MPP encryption
set mppc yes e128
# Faster recovery, less secure option
set mppc yes stateless
/usr/local/etc/mpd5/mpd.conf: unmodified: line 1

I am new to FreeBSD so would appreciate a simple step by step guide if anyone can help.

Hello,

I have the same problem.
Did you find any solution?

In FreeBSD, mpd is implemented using netgraph. It won't work in FreeNAS as the netgraph framework is not included.

Thanks for your response.
Do you know an other way to open a VPN in Freenas ?

Thanks for this link.
I was looking for a VPN client on freenas not a server, but since I did not find it, I will try install a server then I will changed the other side from server to client :(
In fact, it seems to be simplier to install a VPN server with certificate than to install a vpn client with just password...weird
Thanks again for your reply!
Julien.

OpenVPN can also run in a client mode. It is just a matter of configuration.

Great it's work fine!
Thanks for answering!

I have an other question (but perhaps I may open a new topic).
I want to save my login/password and when i tried it's say :"Sorry, 'Auth' password cannot be read from a file"
I have read that it is beacause openvpn is not compile with this option by default.
Is there a way to save login/password in freenas ?

You need to use certificates and keys instead of passwords: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#pki
