Thanks for the report. Same as with bug #485222: (In reply to comment #0) It is still in -testing repository though. Please try: "yum --enablerepo=epel-testing install NetworkManager-pptp" It only hit testing today, though it has been built for some days now, so in case it's not on your mirror yet you can download it from here: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/testing/5Server/ I'd really appreciate feedback, since I haven't had a chance to try it yet!
Thanks for your feedback, Alexander. Closing.
