NAME

       l2tp-secrets - L2TPD secrets file

DESCRIPTION

       The   l2tp-secrets   file   contains   challenge-response  authentication  information  for  xl2tpd,  the
       implementation of l2tp protocol.  The format of the file is derived from the pap and  chap  secrets  file
       format used in pppd.

       The  secrets  file  is  composed  of  zero  or  more  lines  with 3 fields each.  Each line represents an
       authentication secret.  The 3 fields represent our hostname, the remote hostname and the secret  used  in
       the authentication process.

       The first field is for our hostname, a "*" may be used as a wildcard.

       The second field is for the remote system's hostname.  Again, a "*" may be used as a wildcard.

       The  third  field  is  the  secret  used  if  the  previous two fields match the hostnames of the systems
       involved.  The secret should, ideally, be at 16 characters long (the length of an MD5 digest output), and
       should  probably  be  longer  to  ensure  sufficient  security.   There is no minimum length requirement,
       however.
