[Openswan Users] net 2 net connection

[William Man]

Thanks for the suggestions.
The easiest would be to upgrade the kernel, i tried with yum and it suggests
download the kernel and ipsec modules, however I am always uneasy when doing
this as it could take down my system.
I will try and build the rpms against my kernel and hope there aren't any
problems.


Thanks again, i'll try and post my progress for those who maybe interested.

William
