Freeswan installation problems
« on: December 01, 2003, 03:48:10 AM »
I am trying to get Freeswan working between my home and work. The home set up seems OK and displays properly in the server-manager.

When I follow the install at work I am only able to get ipsec to run when I use the athlon compile of the freeswan-module, even though uname -m gives "i686". I guess that's my hardware.

If I then run the ipsec-install or vpn-modify event it kills ipsec. If I then do a service ipsec status I get:

ipsec_setup: (/etc/ipsec.conf, line 1) cannot open configuration file "/etc/ipsec.conf" -- status' aborted

and the ipsec.conf file is missing.

Any suggestions please before I go crazy!  :x

TIA
Mark.
