anybody out there who knows how to use SuSE freeswan package with a self made kernel?
I think this is dangerous if the versions won't match exactly, you may get trouble. So I wouldn't recommend this combination for production. Either use SuSE kernel with the right freeswan.rpm, or build it yourself, too.
I configured and tested FreeS/WAN in our development area and now I want to use it in production. But it fails due to missing modules in our customized kernels.
So you should think about your test strategy :) SCNR.
It seems that ipsec modules are not installes in the correct module path. It uses the path for the standard kernel, e.g. /lib/modules/2.4.16-4GB. And using make menuconfig I don't see anything ipsec related.
Seems like the freeswan patch is missing or was not successful. Don't continue here. Use a fresh kernel and patch it, or use the SuSE kernel sources, or use the SuSE kernel binary RPM. For most purposes this I would recommend the latest possibility.
oki,

On Fri, Mar 15, 2002 at 09:19:11AM +0100, Steffen Dettmer beat on the keyboard: there an upgrade path...or must you patch the kernel? Is the solution: kernel src+freeswan patch+freeswan package? Just learning about VPN/Freeswan. Have a working PPTP setup now, but would like to use freeswan. ipsec0 Link encap:IPIP Tunnel HWaddr inet addr:66.27.156.198 Mask:255.255.240.0 UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:16260 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) I don't think it is working though. cat /proc/net/ipsec_eroute is 0. -- _ _ __ _____ _____ ___| |_ | '__| / __\ \ /\ / / _ \/ _ \ __| -o) | | _ \__ \\ V V / __/ __/ |_ /\\ |_|(_) |___/ \_/\_/ \___|\___|\__|_\_v rsweet@garagenetworks.net "unix soit qui mal y pense."
