Bug#602503: ITP: ppp-2.4.5-eaptls-mppe -- PPP daemon with EAP-TLS authentication support
Hello,
no, I've not talked to him so far, but it's really good to hear that. I'm going to contact him right now.
The primary reason why I created this package is because my main package ’l2tp-ipsec-vpn-0.9.2’ depends on a PPPD that is capable of handling EAP_TLS authentication.
Kind Regards
Werner Jaeger

Hello,
as far as I know Jan Just Keijser is already talking with upstream ppp to
integrate his patch into mainline, have you talked with him prior to filing
this ITP?
