[Openswan Users] OpenSwan to Strongswan RSA Problem

I tried the 2048 bit CA, but it does the same thing.
I'll look into compiling the latest version, Debian 7 doesn't seem to have the very latest version in their repositories.
I just signed up to the Strongswan mailing list, and noticed that Andreas runs it. May I ask whether there could be an issue on the Strongswan side?

A long shot - I see your CA cert has a 4096 bit key. There are some issues with Openswan to do with 4096 bit
*private* keys - I don't recall anyone mentioning any problem with a public key that long. But you never know...
So you might want to try with a 2048 bit key...
Another possibility - your version of Openswan is quite old, maybe worth upgrading?

The certificates seem to load OK both sides, ipsec auto --listall shows them, along with the correct 'has private key' notice. I am doubtful about fragmentation issues as these two machines are VMs on the same host machine on the same subnet, and tcpdump icmp shows no fragmentation notices.
