[Openswan Users] xl2tpd not responding - why?

[Willie Gillespie]

Troy,

Not sure if it will make a difference, but I have an "ipsec saref = yes" in my xl2tpd.conf file.  That helps xl2tpd to work with NATted IPsec clients if I remember correctly.

So, it seems to me that the IPsec part of the connection is working -- 
if that's not the case, I'd love to hear what I'm doing wrong.

That being said, my xl2tpd config is as follows:
[global]
auth file = /etc/xl2tpd/l2tp-secrets
debug tunnel = yes
[lns default]
ip range = 192.168.1.64-192.168.1.127
local ip = 192.168.1.1
require chap = yes
refuse pap = yes
require authentication = yes
name = pilot
ppp debug = yes
pppoptfile = /etc/xl2tpd/options.l2tpd

/etc/xl2tpd/options.l2tpd is:
pcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
ms-dns 192.168.1.1
auth
crtscts
idle 1800
mtu 1200
mru 1200
nodefaultroute
debug
lock
proxyarp
connect-delay 5000

When I run 'xl2tpd -D'
the only output I ever see is:
xl2tpd[20075]: setsockopt recvref[22]: Protocol not available
xl2tpd[20075]: This binary does not support kernel L2TP.
xl2tpd[20075]: xl2tpd version xl2tpd-1.2.6 started on pilot PID:20075

xl2tpd[20075]: Listening on IP address 0.0.0.0, port 1701

I'm suspicious it's a firewall configuration problem - no packets seem 
to be getting to xl2tpd at all.  But I wanted to check to see if there 
was anything else that needed to be fixed first.

Thanks,
