IMHO I'd use the sources from www.freeswan.ca ( SFS-1.99.8 ) ... it's "just" working and you've some extra features ( NAT-T and X.509 ) ! Be sure that you don't select DES encryption as build-in into the kernel ( I'd prefer of not building any freeswan module - DES can be build as module but isn't supprted by freeswan itself ) ..

I am trying to get Freeswan to work with my SuSE 8.1 Pro installation. My kernel does not have KLIPS support, so I am trying to recompile it. I got the files from the http://www.suse.de/~garloff/linux/FreeSWAN/ website and I am still coming up blank.
I downloaded and installed the following files via YaST2 freeswan-1.99_0.934-0.i586.rpm freeswan-1.99_0.934-0.src.rpm km_freeswan-1.99_0.934-0.i586.rpm
I then issued the following commands # cd /usr/src/linux # make xconfig (left all the default settings in xconfig) # make dep # make bzImage # cd /usr/src/kernel-module/zz_freeswan # make xgo
As I understand it, at this point, I should be able to go to the NETWORK OPTIONS in the xconfig and selection the options for FreeSwan and IPSEC. However, I do not have any options for FreeSwan anywhere in the configuration window! I do not understand why this is the case. I am new to kernel configs, so any information would be helpful!
Thanks
