If you have the same issue as me, it is left over racoon connection,
they don't like to go away properly.

rpm -e ipsec-tools
reboot 
that was the cleanest for me testing with Centos 4.1(ES4 clone).

The blows away the racoon stuff, based upon what I have seen with FC3
and Centos 4, ipsec-tools and openswan don't mix well at this time.
