I use the openswan 2.3.1 from source file delivered by openswan.org site.
I have installed the product like is indicated in the INSTALL file without 
problem :
Building userland:
        make programs install
Buildings KLIPS kernel module:
        make KERNELSRC=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build module minstall

I have 2 questions :
1. After a reboot of the system. the  NETKEY modules are loaded and it's 
necessary to unload manually these modules (aes-i586, des, sha1 ipcomp esp4  
ah4) after stopped ipec and to load KLIPS module before rerun ipsec.
How to use klips module automaticaly after a reboot and not NETKEY modules ?
2. For 2.3.0 version, I think KLIPS for 2.6 was experimental.
Is-it a problem to use it in place to NETKEY in 2.3.1 version ?

Thank you, Jacques
