	No joy.  Symptoms not affected at all.  Still got the wrong main mode
id and still no connections.

	I looked further and it seems I was wrong when I thought everything was
working when I specified the certificate subject.  It looks like pluto
is completing negotiations but then none of the routes appear on the
2.6.09 side and I can't ping from the 2.4.9 side (where the routes did
appear).

	I don't have a spot, right now, where I can test 2.6.09 to 2.6.09.
I've had to drop all my production tunnels back to 2.4.9 to 2.4.9 and
I've only got two backup / test 2.6.09 servers attempting tunnels to two
operational 2.4.9 servers.
