Well, it didn't work with GRE in place either.  I got the idea to remove it from
several emails in the archive and faq 6.9.  Now, faq 6.9 is talking about
setting up OpenBSD as a pptp client (whereas I want a server) but it seemed like
a good thing to try, and it did change the error message I was getting...

The server system is also functioning as a firewall, and I did have to add rules
to allow proto gre in and out -- but that much seems to be working, since the
firewall stopped reporting those packets as blocked...

Let me clarify that I removed the gre psuedo-device, not the gre protocol.
