[Openswan Users] RES: RES: RES: RES: Openswan using Radius server forauthentication

[Arnel B. Espanola]

I'd like to thank you for helping me in resolving the issue I had about 
the 'permission denied' error. I finally made it working after days of 
hard work. It was the selinux that prevented me from connecting to 
radius server. By disabling it I was able to connect and authenticate 
via radius. So there's really nothing wrong with all the configurations 
I have except for some minor changes I made which are irrelevant to the 
issue.
