NAME

l2tpd - Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol Daemon

DESCRIPTION

A Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol VPN client/daemon for Linux
and other POSIX-based OSs. Based off of L2TPd 0.61 from
http://www.marko.net/l2tp
l2tpd implements the Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol, defined
by RFC 2661.

OPTIONS

-D This option prevents l2tpd from detaching from the
terminal and daemonizing. This is recommended for the moment as
the code that detaches from the terminal and daemonizes is not
yet perfected.
-c <config file>
Tells l2tpd to use an alternate config file. De
fault is /etc/l2tpd/l2tpd.conf
-s <secret file>
Tells l2tpd to use an alternate "secrets" file.
Default is /etc/l2tpd/l2tp-secrets
-p <pid file>
Tells l2tpd to use an alternate pid file. Default
is /var/run/l2tpd.pid

FILES

/etc/l2tpd/l2tpd.conf /etc/l2tpd/l2tp-secrets
/var/run/l2tp-control
