[LUG] VPN using ipsec and openswan

[Alex Charrett <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got two FC3 machines in seperate places (both running all the latest
updates), which I'm trying to configure an openswan vpn between them. 
One of them starts openswan/ipsec cleanly and the other doesn't.  As far 
as I can see, both machines have identical configs on them.

Versions of appropriate things are:
kernel-2.6.11-1.35_FC3
ipsec-tools-0.5-2.fc3
openswan-2.1.5-2.FC3.1

The log entries for starting ipsec on the box that isn't working:

Jul  4 09:04:10 box2 ipsec_setup: ...Openswan IPsec stopped
Jul  4 09:04:10 box2 setup: Shutting down IPsec:  succeeded

I think it's something to do with:
racoon: INFO: unsupported PF_KEY message REGISTER

But I'm rather stumped as where to go from here..

Cheers,
Alex.
