xl2tpd can not work as LAC

[Andreas Schultz]

Binary package hint: xl2tpd

xl2tpd use the connect() methode to attache a L2TP connection to an UDP socket connected to theLNS is broken.

Even the most current released version (1.2.3) uses an old convention that only works with the 2.4 kernel patch. The 2.6 kernel module requires s_session and d_session to be zero (see drivers/net/pppol2tp.c line 1613).

openl2tp does it right, but xl2tpd does a:

   sax.pppol2tp.s_tunnel = c->container->ourtid;

   sax.pppol2tp.s_session = c->ourcid;

   sax.pppol2tp.d_tunnel = c->container->tid;

   sax.pppol2tp.d_session = c->cid;

Workaround is to unload pppol2tp kernel module.

Is this still an issue in recent releases (12.04+) of Ubuntu?
