VPN in SLES 10?

Does SLES 10 incorporate VPN capabilities? In looking at teh documentation
for SLES 9 I see that there is a VPN module in YaST but I do not see that
module in SLES 10? Is it becuase it is a Pre-Release candidate or will SLES
10 no longer include this functionality? Thanks.

OpenVPN (an SSL-based VPN), and FreeSWAN (an IPSec-based VPN) are both
available in SLES10. Whether they have a YaST wizard to configure them,
I'm not sure about that, but the VPN software in both is definitely
present.

I believe they also include the KVPNc graphical client (it is present in
SuSE 10.1)

Justin,

  I went ahead and installed pptpd and configured it for use. I now have it
up and running and able to connect via my laptop, thanks!
