	This is sort of a cross-post. I replied to another thread under networking to see if anything might come of it, but I figured I'd give it a shot here. I'd like to set up a VPN server on plain jane OS X 10.3.5 without any added expense of something like VPN Tracker Server. Is there any way to do IPSec or PPtP serving with just the tools in 10.3 itself? I'm considering SSH tunneling, as I already have everything for SSH set up nicely now, but would rather not go through moore hoops that way. Thanks in advance!
