I understand the ppp user login, and I understand the peer credentials- the error I see in the log is in relation to the peer credentials. If I run mpd on the FBSD system as a client with a secret then it connects. Android fails here- it will connect if I remove the secret from the server config (btw I'm still using my original server config- it was roughly the same as yours anyway, so I seem to have been on the right track). So whats different? Android logs in as peer "anonymous". I haven't found anything specific in the manual (or maybe I missed it) that tells me how to do this. On linux apparently there's a l2tp-secrets file (xl2tpd uses it at least) which has "<local server> <remote peer> <secret> <(optional) IP>" per line. Seeing as android is linux, and uses mtpd (a linux l2tp client) then shouldn't I find a way for this? Or am I being paranoid? This is to secure the control connection, but I will be using this with IPSEC.

Just run it with mpd -b > No, rc service. But I have to actually start it again after this failure- beats me why it would throw it in with a very basic error like that. The logs I posted earlier showed it up- the CS-DYING is thrown (assertion failure), and mpd4 or 5 dies. For that matter I think l2tpd dies for the same reason- whatever that is... I'll try with -b and get back to you. > ---Mike >
