If you’re using L2TP (and you should be!) the ipsec connection has to be 
established first, before being passed off to the authentication phases of the 
process. The racoon daemon establishes the ipsec tunnel and logs to system.log, 
not vpnd.log. If your client is talking to the VPN server at all you’ll see 
some logs from racoon. vpnd also does some logging to system.log. So, if you’re 
not seeing anything on the server side in /var/log/ppp/vpnd.log double-check 
system.log for messages from racoon and vpnd (although from the sound of what 
you’ve described I’d hazard the guess that you’ll only see logs from racoon, if 
anything at all).

As an aside, it’s important to focus on one kind of VPN at a time. L2TP/IPSEC 
and PPTP two different beasts. From the thread it’s not clear to me which one 
you are using in your tests.
