The problem is, when pluto start and try to load the certs, it will complain: "X.509 certificate is not valid until Aug 16 09:22:00 UTC 2012 (it is now=Jan 01 00:02:10 UTC 2010)". I'll need to run "ipsec setup restart" after NTP corrected the time, but this will disconnect all the existing connections.
