[Openswan Users] Problem applying the NAT-T patch

Hi Paul,

	Thanks for this info. The source build of openswan seems to work now
although, when I start ipsec it seems that it can't find the "xfrm_user"
module. At this point, I guess I need to rebuild the kernel modules to get
it, right?

 
Davis

You should not apply the nat patch on RedHat AS kernels. They already
contain code for this as part of the 2.6 ipsec backport code. In fact, you
should probably not even try to build kernel modules for KLIPS on that tree.
Openswan-2 should detect the backport code and use that.

If building from source, just run 'make programs install'
