Re: [Fwd: [patch 02/15] ppp_mppe: add PPP MPPE encryption module]

To follow up on my comments on the mppe patch, it still misses the
most important thing, which is to make sure you don't send unencrypted
data if CCP should go down.  A received CCP TermReq or TermAck will
clear the SC_DECOMP_RUN flag and the code will then ignore the
xcomp->must_compress flag.

I really think there should be another flag bit set by pppd to say
"must compress" rather than relying on the compressor telling you
that.

Paul.
