  Cisco VPN client? as in windows?
  they are locked to work with only Cisco equipment.

    Philippe> The first message from the client is processed through the
    Philippe> 'aggr_inI1_outR1()' function (Cisco client specifies a

    Philippe> -> find_host_pair().

    Philippe> These functions (found in connections.c) always returns
    Philippe> NULL which makes pluto discard the ISAKMP message.

    Philippe> In fact, the 'for' loop in the find_host_pair() is never
    Philippe> entered, because the static struct 'host_pairs' is set to
    Philippe> NULL (and p = host_pairs at loop initialization).

    Philippe> I would like to know when and how the host_pairs struct if
    Philippe> filled. Shouldn't it be initialized before we enter
    Philippe> find_host_pair()?

  Have you actually sat down and configured an openswan<->openswan
connection first? I.e. have you actually configured the openswan end
properly?
