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
