[Openswan Users] ipsec manual connection has no "spi" parameter specified

[Ted Kaczmarek]

On a Redhat 9, with Openswan 2.1.4 I get gripes about

ipsec manual: fatal error in "remote27": connection has no "spi"
parameter specified

when trying to 

ipsec manual --down remote27

or 

ipsec manual --up remote27


The tunnel itself is ok if you restart ipsec, but restarting ipsec for
one tunnel can be a tad of a pain. Both the remote and central are
RH9's.

Tried googling and could not hit the nail on the head.

Any ideas?
