[Openswan Users] route-host command exited with status 2

[Robert W. Burgholzer]

Paul/list members,
Thanks for the suggestions. 12.5.17.226 is the IP of the gateway that I am 
trying to reach at work, and unfortunately, the route command you suggested 
did not work either (it didn't like the netmask).

My legitimate point to point tunnel is 10.22.1.1, is that perhaps my 
"nexthop" value? If so, I need some advice because setting 
rightnexthop=10.22.1.1 has yielded a fatal error each time.

Thanks again for any guidance.

r.b.
