Hi guys, I was just told about: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=358799
I am the current maintainer of the l2tpd package in Fedora Extras. My company Xelerance has done some extensive patching of l2tpd. We have tried to get these patches back in the l2tpd from the sourceforge people, but they seemed to have died *again*. So we have (reluctantly) forked l2tpd into "xl2tpd", which is available at: http://www.xelerance.com/software/xl2tpd/ ftp://ftp.xelerance.com/xl2tpd/ The Fedora Extras "l2tpd" rpm is basically l2tpd with patches to make it into xl2tpd. In the next month or so I will probably propose to the FE project to add xl2tpd and phase out l2tpd. We hope that whoever becomes the new maintainer will incorporate these patches, or better yet, perhaps Debian can also drop l2tpd for xl2ptd. Apart from various patches for newer gcc's and newer pty handling, our version fixes many bugs you run into when seriously deploying an openswan server with many l2tp clients. Rekey issues, disconnect issues, etc. However, the most important thing is that xl2tpd supports multiple L2TP clients behind the same NAT router, and multiple L2TP clients with the same internal IP address behind different NAT routers. This functionality is currently only available in xl2tpd, and only when using the Openswan KLIPS IPsec stack. It is a new global option "ipsec saref" that can be turned on or off. Personally, I would like to see xl2tpd in Debian, but we don't have any Debian developers suitable for this task. If Debian is going to stick with l2tpd, I recommend checking out our patches to l2tpd. Cheers, Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
