openswan-1.0.3 should not be used. It has some security vulnerabilities. If
you really want to use openswan-1 (which will be EOL'ed and the end of this
year and is currently in maintenance mode only for security updates), use
1.0.10rc2. It won't work on 2.6 kernels, and NAT-T will be broken.

You are better of using openswan-2
