[Openswan Users] Call-Disconnect-Notify(14), pppd fails

[Mark Williams]

Hi all,

It seems xl2tpd is not creating any pseudo tty file.
The xl2tpd tunnel is up and working, but there is no /dev/pty/xx for
pppd to attach to.
The pts subsytem does exist and is working correctly (other processes
are using it).

Has anyone come across this problem before?

Thanks.
