Unfortunately, this bug has not repeatability. Today it happened only once (in
more than 20 various attempts). I hope this bug will disappear after system
upgrade to FC5 (from the current FC3 :)). Anyway, it is not a blocker for the
review.


> /etc/ppp/chap-secrets.example
I've closely looked at contents of this file and have not found anything 
specifically related to l2tpd. It seems just an example for the ordinary PPP's
chap-secrets file.

As /etc/ppp/chap-secrets is "owned" by the "ppp" package, only the "ppp" package
"decides" whether to include some examples for this file into /etc/ppp or not.
Currently, "ppp" has decided to not include it. Let it be such.


> listen-address
As we cannot set this address to localhost, some another solution should be found.
With the default /etc/l2tpd/l2tpd.conf, at each connection attempt the child
"pppd" process will be invoked (and then probably exited due to auth failure).
It is not a good "secure" default configuration. Perhaps specifying "challenge =
yes" with the empty l2tp=secrets can solve this problem?
