Hey guys,

I'm having trouble getting Pluto to start on one of those interest Amazon 
virtual servers.  I tried both binaries and source RPMs.  Here are the log 
entries:

Sep 12 19:46:48 sandycat pluto[12682]: Starting Pluto (Openswan Version

I did a search before posting and I found some similar probelms but didn't 
see a definitive answer.  Are suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

System:
Amazon EC2
Fedora Core 4
