Hi Paul/Bob

This is strange for me too. depmod also gives me the same error witha mdoule
missing;

root at flexilogix:~# depmod -a
WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab068.9: No such
file or directory
FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab068.9/modules.dep.temp for
writing: No such file or directory
and when I run ipsec verify; i get that my kernel is not ready to support
IPSec even.

root at flexilogix:~# ipsec verify
