<DIV><SPAN class=074004714-01112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am interested in
using openswan-2.2.0 with my Red Hat kernel 2.4.20-31. There are two
patches listed with this release, openswan-2.2.0.kern-2.4.patch, and
openswan-2.2.0.nat-2.4.patch. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=074004714-01112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Where can I find a
description of these patches, and when they need to be
applied?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=074004714-01112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do I have to apply
these patches in order to build with my 2.4 kernel?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=074004714-01112004><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I build the
openswan-2.2.0 distribution, with the source RPM spec file, and no patches, I
receive no errors. When I build with the patches above, by
modifying the spec file, the build fails when applying the kern
patch. It is unable to patch file "+++linux/net/Config.in". Am I
missing a macro in the spec file?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

configuration questions, I need to get past the build
process.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
