  No, it actually ignored "leftid=192.0.2.5", and replaced it with the
subjectAltName.   There was no way to say something that wasn't in the
certificate.  So, you can't interop with a number of systems.

    Tuomo> Defaulting to %fromcert would not be problem.

  Ah, right.  
  It needs to default to value of left= if leftcert= is not set.
