[Openswan Users] ipsec error when establishing a connection

[samuel Karuga]

hi mailing list,
    I managed to install openswan ipsec on a fedora 8 system with no serious problems but have hit a wall when it comes to establishing a connection between the two target systems. i have installed ipsec before and im sure that all the configs are okay and should work since i copied them from a working ipsec configuration and adopted them for the second system.

here is an extract of ipsec barf output:

I get this error when i try to establish a connection using: ipsec auto --up vpn2

ipsec auto --up vpn2
003 "vpn2" #8: ERROR: netlink_get_spi for esp.0 at YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY/4096/4294967295 failed with errno 22: Invalid argument

I have tried google and tinkering with my config files but the problem remains the same. What could be the cause the netlink error?
