           Summary: Openswan/L2TP will not work in domainU without Legacy
                    (BSD) PTY support
           Product: Xen
           Version: 2.0
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux-2.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P3
         Component: Guest-OS
        AssignedTo: xen-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: telcor@xxxxxxxxx


While trying to configure Openswan, using L2TP, I kept encountering
the following error message during authentication:
May  6 10:06:28 linux002 l2tpd[2654]: getPtyMaster: No more free pseudo-tty's
May  6 10:06:28 linux002 l2tpd[2654]: start_pppd: unable to allocate
pty, abandoning!
May  6 10:06:28 linux002 l2tpd[2654]: control_finish: Call established
with 192.168.4.129, Local: 24770, Remote: 1, Serial: 0
May  6 10:06:28 linux002 l2tpd[2654]: write_packet: tty is not open yet.
May  6 10:06:28 linux002 l2tpd[2654]: write_packet: tty is not open yet.
May  6 10:06:28 linux002 l2tpd[2654]: write_packet: tty is not open yet.

Googling the "getPtyMaster: No more free pseudo-tty's" message reveals
that I need to configure "Legacy (BSD) PTY support" under "device
drivers/character devices" in my kernel config. However, the
configuration for DomainU does not make character devices available
under device drivers (Domain0 does though).
