FreeS/WAN with L2TP install on Debian



I read lot of docs on setting IPSec Roadworriro setup for Win2k/XP
clients. I found especialy usefull the following documents:
- http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/ipsec-x509.php
- http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/freeswan-l2tp.html

After setting all the things up I found that I haven't the ipseccmd.exe on
my WinXP box. So I searched the internet again and after some time I found
that I have to install it from WinXP CD. While this is very anoying for my
users (I have to set up the VPN connection for other users of my system) I
want to enable them to use Win2k/XP native client (that client that can be
invoked from 'Network Connections' by clicing 'New Connection' and
following the instructions for 'Connect to Network at My Workplace'.

So I have some questions ... please if anyone can give me any hint, let do
it ;) :
- I couldn't found out if the Freeswan and kernel-pathc-freeswan that
  comes with Debian Woody is enough for my setup (freeswan 1.96-1.4 and
  kernel-patch-feeswan 1.96-1.4)? I also couldn't found out if the kernel
  patch also contains L2TP patch? Are those two tools ok or I have to
  compile them manualy? Is there an already compiled .deb package?
- I want to use keys for authentication (X.509) because I want to support
  more clients and I don't want to share the same secret between all
  clients. Is it posible to set-up Win2k/XP to use such a certificate with
  native IPSec client (is there any doc showing how to do this or any
  hint?)?
- In the first above mentioned doc (first URL) there is a sample
  configuration for ipsec.conf. There is a section 'conn roadwarrior'.
  What I have to enter inest of 'right=%any' to uniquly identify the
  client on the other part of the connection (I want to use the same CA
  certificate to sign all the certificates I will issue for varous servers
  in my company, however I don't want that a user from one server can use
  the VPN connection of the other server - for this reason I have to allow
  only clients with certain certificates to connect to my FreeS/Wan server
  do I have to put the public key that I provide to the client there?)?

Regards,
Dezo
