The contrib basically works but there, can be complications when you want to combine it with standard host-host ipsec connections. The issue that 'may' arise is if an IPSEC connection is matched prior to the L2TPD one. I do have both types running on my test box but need more feedback on this.

This is because pure ipsec usually relies on having connections from specific IP address / and or IDs / Certificates. To accept mobile clients, which could come from pretty well any IP address, we need to tell out L2TPD Ipsec configuration to accept connections from anywhere.

The potential issue is if you try a pure Ipsec connection that does not have a correct configuration in the database/configuration, it may try to connect via the L2TPD connection. That will not break anything, but you may experience odd results from the client.

The smeserver-libreswan-xl2tpd contrib is currently in the development repo at Contribs
The smeserver-libreswan-xl2tpd contrib is currently in the contribs repo.
Add the EPEL and Libreswan repos:
yum install smeserver-extrarepositories-libreswan smeserver-extrarepositories-epel
signal-event yum-modify
config set UnsavedChanges no
With the yum repo database updated, you can then run the installation of the package.

yum --enablerepo=smedev,epel install smeserver-libreswan-xl2tpd
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs,epel,libreswan install smeserver-libreswan-xl2tpd
That should bring everything in, including ipsec which is required

Take this action only *after* you have confirmed proper L2TP connection is working.
