[Openswan Users] Openswan isntallation

[Ondrej Valousek]

Hi Zaeem,
As I said previously, it is quite possible that the openswan 
installation rpm was added in latter updates to RHEL-5.
Also openswan relies tightly on the kernel so you should update your 
kernel first.
To do this you should either purchase RHEL license or switch to CentOS...
