Description:

Since L2TP provides the per-user authentication we want to use a single
pre-shared key for all VPN users, but this is hard to do with
ipsec-tools since racoon only supports pskey lookup by address when
identity protection is used and we do not know the address of the client
in advance. The attached patch adds a wildcard match to the psk.txt
reading code, specifying an id of * will match any client.

Wildcard PSKs has been a long time "feature" request for this project,
and until now, discussions in developer's team always had the same
conclusion: we won't officially implement that.

It is really useful for creating L2TP/IPsec server.
I have created a ipsec-tools-wild-char in AUR. But it would be nice if the support could be in repo like all of other distros.
This task depends upon

wild-char.patch should be approved by upstream
