[Openswan Users] Different PFS setting but can connect success

[Argon_Cheng at sdc.sercomm.com]

Hi,
        Is there anybody knows how to disable this feature?, I means, do 
not use PFS feature if I disable it. 
 
Best Regards

Whether Perfect Forward Secrecy of keys is desired on the connection's 
keying 
channel (with PFS, penetration of the key-exchange protocol does not 
compromise keys negotiated earlier); Since there is no reason to ever 
refuse 
PFS, Openswan will allow a connection defined with pfs=no to use PFS 
anyway. 
Acceptable values are yes (the default) and no.
