Hello,
I managed to make an pptp connection to our company server, but was asked to use sstp.
Now When I use networkmanager / gnome3 to establish connection I get the following in /var/log/messages:
| Code: | Nov 6 16:02:36 Gentoo1 NetworkManager[2530]: <info> Starting VPN service 'sstp'...

Can someone give me a hint, why /var/lib/run/sstpc cannot be created?

IIRC,
/var/lib/run was replaced by /var/run which got replaced by /run. It looks as tho the program your using is using the old style. Try creating a symlink from /var/lib/run/sstpc to /run/sstpc

Hello and thanks for answer. Unfortunately there is no sstpc folder in /run
locate sstpc
| Code: | /usr/sbin/sstpc
/usr/share/man/man8/sstpc.8.bz2 |
