[Openswan Users] Familiar with OpenSwan.

[Marcos Dytz]

Hello Paul,

I started playing around with the OpenSwan code, but had some problems
because it seems that I don't have Pluto (whack can't find it), would there
be any other way to manage keys? I am running the OpenSwan installation that
comes as a default with Familiar 0.8.2.

Anyway, I pretend to authenticate myself to the VPN gateway through a
certificate. Do you know if the OpenSwan code for Familiar checks for
certificates or some changes are required to do so?

Thanks for the help!!!

KLIPS, the openswan ipsec module contains all that code. You will have to
compile and/or install klips compiled for 2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh37. This will
require a cross compiler setup. See the wiki and openswan-2/doc{s} for more
information. See also the 'make ipkg' target.
