Hi list, Please be careful when upgrading your freeS/WAN-machine to SuSE 6.4. As far as I can understand this, SuSE has compiled freeS/WAN 1.3 in the 6.4 edition, but did not apply the kernel-patches to the lx_suse kernel-sources. It works well with the standard kernel, but not if I want to recompile it. Given that very few people use a standard kernel on a firewall machine - what is the suggested way of installing freeS/WAN on SuSE 6.4? I installed freeS/WAN sources, but would like to benefit from the convenience the SuSE-team wanted to make available to us. BTW: Changing the location of the binaries to /usr//local/lib/ipsec/ to /usr/lib/ipsec/ has not been reflected in the hard coded $IPSECDIR in /usr/sbin/ipsec. If you don't change that, freeS/WAN even doesn't run on a standard SuSE-kernel. Also the manpage.d-directory for e.g. the ipsec.conf-html-manpage has not been built. Torsten Behle FCB/Wilkens Germany

The following works for me: install and configure the kernel source install freeswan source rpm rpm -bc freeswan (this patch the kernel) build the kernel
