Upgrading to the latest rolling release fixed the problem and the l2tp daemon started listening, although after I made a minor change to the L2TP configuration the l2tp daemon stopped listening on localhost:2004. I get the error: “Connection to “localhost:2004” failed”

The change I made was “set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication require chap” - When I commit the change it stops accel-ppp from working.
A reboot seems to fix problem and restarts the accel-ppp process.
