Hi,

despite the error with the NAT-T patch, I applied the KLIPS patch successfully:

patch -p1 -s < ../openswan-2.4.6rc2/openswan-2.4.6rc2.kernel-2.6-klips.patch

and afterwards I did:

make oldconfig
make clean
make bzImage modules modules_install

and got the following errors: 

net/ipsec/ipsec_init.c:95:25: error: net/xfrmudp.h: No such file or directory
net/ipsec/ipsec_init.c:99:2: warning: #warning "You are trying to build KLIPS2.6

Clearly the error comes from the broken NAT-T patch. If the suse kernel already
contains the nat-t patch, would it not compile ok even if the patch was not
successfully applied ?


So, I am trying to enable KLIPS and NAT-T in this 2.6.13-15 kernel because we
are connecting (Road Warrior) from a Suse 10 client to Astaro Security Linux V5
(ASL), which uses KLIPS/ipsec0.


So far, I have successfully established ISAKMP and IPSec SA's (and it is
stable), but pinging from the client gives no response. The packets arrive in
the ASL, but it is not able to reply to the client. I suspect that it is caused
by the missing ipsecX interface on the client, since it uses NETKEY and the ASL
server uses KLIPS. 

Any suggestion on how to get it working, other than recompiling the kernel on
the client to enable KLIPS/ipsecX ? 

At first I was running Openswan 2.4.0-6, delivered with the Suse 10 CD's. Now I
installed 2.4.6rc2, which still works ok (ISAKMP and IPSec SA are established).
I just need to enable KLIPS on it :-)
