Yes, it does! No problems.
Perhaps it was FreeS/WAN that closed the connection? Check the logs.
I can't find any sign, that freeswan is closing the connection.
Could you send me your configuration files, i.e. the FreeS/WAN .conf files, l2tpd.conf and options.l2tpd. And the relevant parts from your logfiles (i.e. /var/log/messages, /var/log/secure, assuming that Debian has these).
Yes, I use your tarball with the patches included as descriped in your documentation.
Note that it contains two patches that are mutually exclusive:
# SysV style pty allocation patch from Debian (modified) # (http://www.l2tpd.org/patches/pty.patch) Patch0: l2tpd-pty.patch.bz2 # Alternative pty patch by Chris Wilson Patch4: l2tpd-pty.patch2.bz2
You will have to try which one works best for you. I am using the second one myself.
