linux-2.6-test2, ipsec in tunneling mode

linux-2.6-test2, ipsec in tunneling mode

[Jim Penny]

Does anyone have a tested example of tunneling mode working on
linux-2.6-test2?  If so would you please email it to me.  At this point
I don't care about authentication method, don't care about addresses,
etc.  I just want to see a real example.

I have tried the Linux Magazin "Sicherer Transport" examples, and the
Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO examples, but cannot get
them to work.  They fail with a message of 
"The result of line xxx: Invalid argument. " message.

Thanks

Jim Penny

I don't know if you are the same person who asked something very similar
in another mailing list I am also subscribed to, but I followed the
suggestion og Bret Hubert to recompile ipsec-tools against recent kernel
headers, and (nearly) all my problems went away at once.

I used "apt-get source ipsec-tools" from Debian Sid, and just edited
"debian/rules" to delete the ./configure option that points to the
includes packaged with ipsec-tools (so configure looks them at the usual
default location of /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION/build/includes, where,
in my setup, 2.6.0-test2-mm2 sources are).

There is additional documentation about the native IPsec implementation
available in 2.5.x kernels at http://lartc.org, in the HOWTO.

Hope it helps.
