I'm using the openswan v2.3.1 fc3 rpms.  After I start ipsec and then 
run <ipsec auto --up TEST>, I receive:
whack: Pluto is not running (no "/var/run/pluto.ctl")

Here's my ipsec.conf:
version 2
config setup
        #not needed for 2.6 kernel? interfaces="ipsec0=eth0"
        #not needed for 2.6 kernel? plutoopts="--interface eth0"
conn TEST
        left=%defaultroute
        leftid=@groupname
        leftxauthclient=yes
        right=$PUBLIC_IP             # IP of the VPN Server
        rightsubnet=10.1.1.0/24         # Corporate private network
        rightxauthserver=yes
        authby=secret
        auto=add

Here's what's logged:
