[Openswan Users] Connecting a branch office to nortel contivity

[Bento Loewenstein]

Hi ppl,

I'kind of desperate here. I'm trying to connect our branch office in 
brasil to a Nortel Contivity switch in the head office using openswan 
without luck.

bellow is my ipsec.conf file. what happens is even when the tunnel is 
that the tunnel is not established. even when phase 2 negotiation 
completes my side doesen't send IKE packet to the head office according 
to my contact there. i'm also sending a packet dump.

my setup is:

Red hat linux 7.3 (updated with packages from fedoralegacy.org)
vanila kernel 2.4.28 with nat-traversal patch
openswan 2.1.6 (also tried 2.4.0dr4)


a log with "klipsdebug=all" and "plutodebug=all" is available at 
http://sprints.tks.com.br/messages.log

- any idea of what i'm doing wrong ?
- would a complete upgrade (maybe debian sarge with 2.6 kernel) help ?


Any help would be apreciated.

TIA,

Bento Loewenstein
