[Openswan Users] Permission denied on /proc/net/ipsec_* stuff

[Mihajlo Cvetanović]

Hi all,

I played with kernel and openswan and something went wrong. Can't really 
tell what caused it, but when ipsec module is inserted into kernel all 
those /proc/net/ipsec_* links go to some undefined state. The part of 
the directory list looks like this:

...
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 18:08 pf_key_registered
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 18:08 pf_key_supported
?--------- ? ?    ?    ?            ? /proc/net/ipsec_eroute
?--------- ? ?    ?    ?            ? /proc/net/ipsec_klipsdebug
?--------- ? ?    ?    ?            ? /proc/net/ipsec_spi
?--------- ? ?    ?    ?            ? /proc/net/ipsec_spigrp
?--------- ? ?    ?    ?            ? /proc/net/ipsec_tncfg
?--------- ? ?    ?    ?            ? /proc/net/ipsec_version
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 18:08 protocols
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 18:08 psched

Directory /proc/net/ipsec is fine, and all files in it are accessible, I 
just can't put those links in order. As a result openswan can't detect 
the kernel code. Ipsec service can start, though, but that's probably 
all it can do. What can it be done?
