NAME
       l2tp-secrets - L2TPD secrets file

DESCRIPTION
       The l2tp-secrets	file contains challenge-response authentication	infor-
       mation  for  l2tpd, 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 authenti-
       cation process.

       The first field is for our hostname, a "*" may be used as  a  wildcard.
       At  present,  we	 always	 use  the hostname "eriwan".  This needs to be
       fixed.

       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.
