Hello, I'm looking for some help setting up a VPN between a linux server and Windows2000 client.
However there seems to be absolutly no documentation on anything and I'm awfully confused. If there are some docs, where can I find them? There seems to be no configure script with the tarball (l2tpd-0.69.tar.gz) so I simply ran "make" and it completed without error. I moved the binary it created to /usr/sbin and copied and edited the sample config and secrets file into /etc/l2tpd/. When I try running l2tpd I get the following message "This binary does not support kernel L2TP." However the program remains running and bound to the port, outputting the following into the syslog: l2tpd[599]: This binary does not support kernel L2TP. l2tpd[600]: l2tpd version 0.69 started on starbug PID:600 l2tpd[600]: Written by Mark Spencer, Copyright (C) 1998, Adtran, Inc. l2tpd[600]: Forked by Scott Balmos and David Stipp, (C) 2001 l2tpd[600]: Inhereted by Jeff McAdams, (C) 2002 l2tpd[600]: Linux version 2.4.18 on a i586, port 1701 I do have the tun and tap support compiled into the kernel. Is there something I need to remove from the kernel perhaps? Are there and requirements to run l2tpd that I don't know about? What is a LAC or a LNS? I can't find anywhere that it's explained! How do I setup or disable authenication? What usernames are they based on? The linux box's users? How do I get windows 2000 to talk to it? Does Win2k just automatically setup ppp or do I have to do it? What about routing tables? As far as I understand L2TP will be a tunnel between the two machines over which PPP is used so network packets can be moved. Client Server Virtual 10.0.0.2 ---------------PPP---------------- 10.0.0.1 Link ---------------L2TP--------------- Real 123.0.0.2 --------------UDP/IP-------------- 213.0.0.1 Is there something I'm missing from this understanding? I'm prepared to put together a document detailing how to setup l2tpd if I can get enough information. Please help me :-) Stephen
