[Openswan Users] Trouble with a Star Topo

I only patched on Centos 6.x (I think) and it was a royal pain as I 
could not find a specific patch for that kernel.

I had to go through the patches one by one and adjust line numbers, 
offsets and even some of the code. Took me about 8 hours in total but I 
got it working. Was a while back so perhaps newer RHEL patches have been 
released, and in your case with 5.x it might be easier.

Cheers

Alex
