[Openswan Users] Setup Help Wanted...

Hello Everyone,
	Okay, this is probably a 'hugely' (or frequently
at any rate ;) asked question but.. can anyone help with
the setup of openswan as a client ? The 'powers that be'
have requested everyone to use VPN (With X.509 certificate
of course).

	I have currently a setup like;

	Home Network	    Dual Homed Gateway
	192.168.2.x <--> [ 192.168.2.1/24.42.x.x ] <-> Internet

	And hopefully get something like this;

	Home Network	    Dual Homed Gateway
	192.168.2.x <--> [ 192.168.2.1/24.42.x.x ] <-> Internet
				+
			 [ 192.168.2.1/24.42.x.x] <-> remote gw <-> Network

	Its... proving to be a pain. I -thought- that I
had the config sorted, and then, of course, the decision
came from 'on high' that i needed to use X.509 certificate
rather than an RSA key. 

	Obviously, i would prefer all traffic from the home
network to still go out through the internet and -only- the
internet. Any login's on the gateway should be permitted
access to the remote network. The remote network should be
denied from seeing any machine -except- my gateway.

	I also have the certificate in an email, something
along the lines of the following...


  Type    Self-signed X.509 Certificate
  Version    V3
	...	
  -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIICDTCCAXagAwIBAgIEQbszejANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADAkMSIwIAYDVQQDDBlw
	...
kw==
  -----END CERTIFICATE-----

	
	can i jst simply put this into the /etc/ipsec.d/certs
directory or do i need something else ?

	Thanks
	Stef
