Thank you, Brendan, This is a good starting point.
But will this package implement GRE (port 47) ? Just because I need to install the Linmux box as a firewall. In fact it is already a fw. What I need is just to make VPN encapsulated packets to go through the firewall to the VPN server which is located in the inside LAN. And do I need samba ? I want to keep my Debian fw with as few daemons as possible, as you can guess ;-) Anyway THANK YOU for your help !
