[Openswan Users] ipsec creates routes on startup

[Alex Bennee]

Hi,

I've been trying to set up a VPN connection with ipsec and am hitting a
problem before I even start any connections. When I start the ipsec
service a bunch of additional routes are added to my routing table that
buggers up network connectivity which obviously makes starting a
connection up impossible. Any idea where ipsec could be getting this
idea from?

01:11 root at malory [ipsec] >/etc/init.d/ipsec start
 * Starting IPSEC ......
ipsec_setup: Starting Openswan IPsec U2.2.0/K2.6.11-gentoo-r6vlan...

The global part of my config looks like this:

# Specify the correct version
version 2
#
# The global configuration for IPsec
#
# The interface is automatically derived by looking at which
# interface has the default route. We also need to support NAT
#
config setup
        interfaces=%defaultroute
        uniqueids=yes
        klipsdebug=none
        plutodebug=all
        nat_traversal=yes
