[Openswan Users] Spam: Re: Spam: Re: WinXp l2tp over ipsec

Your comment on KLIPS/PSK issues led me to this bug report

http://bugs.xelerance.com/view.php?id=601

Whether it is linked to PSKs or Certs I don't know but I cannot believe
KLIPS never worked properly, so maybe.

Anyway hand patching this is to the code has now caused my l2tpd to
start responding. Its not working yet, which I suspect is l2tp config
issues, but this has resolved my issue.

Next job is to locate the fix for this bug if anyone has any
suggestions?

You could run into problems. I see this range is allocated to Sun
Microsystems.

I seem to have missed later attempts in your log which show that a
connection was actually set up. Sorry about that.

I must admit that I have not used KLIPS recently. I mostly use 2.6
kernels. Last time I used KLIPS it did *not* work with PSKs
when NAT-T was involved. Perhaps the Openswan developers have fixed it
by now. Otherwise you might have to switch to certificate
authentication.

Perhaps the problem is in L2TP after all. Could you send me your
l2tpd.conf,
options.l2tpd and the l2tpd log file?

What distribution are you using?

I saw this too with with an old Openswan version when I used KLIPS.
I don't know what this is supposed to mean.
