[Openswan Users] Question on the Docs

[Nick Howitt]

Cleaned Openswan off the system (rpm -e, search and delete anything 
"openswan"). Installed from an unmodified .tar.gz using make programs 
then make install, so the help files go into 
/usr/local/share/doc/openswan this time instead of 
/usr/share/doc/openswan and still no ipsec.conf.5.html. :(

Using ClarkConnect CE5.0
