[Openswan Users] NULL encryption error message

[Nick Howitt]

Have a look in Makefile.inc. It looks like you can set 
USE_WEAKSTUFF?=true and USE_NOCRYPTO?=true.

Also from the ipsec.conf(8) man pages:
"If Openswan was compiled with extra INSECURE and BROKEN options, then 
the des (1des) and null cipher, as well as modp768 are available. This 
turns your VPN into a joke. Do not enable these options. "
But I'm not sure where you set this.
