| Hello,
I've got a two different boxes running RHEL, one WS4 other is ES3 and I
have problems using IPSec to a third box as there seems to be no IPSec
support compiled into the kernels of these distributions.
This is correct? As I see the ipsec-tools package installed, but it
seems this is just racoon the IKE daemon and nothing else.
I tried rhn, but there are no packages, not even freeswan or openswan.
I installed openswan 2.3.0 from some thirdparty side. The ES3 box I did
manage to get the KLIPS kernel module being loaded but not on my WS4:
WS4@root]# ipsec verify
Checking your system to see if IPsec got installed and started
correctly:
Version check and ipsec on-path [OK]
Linux Openswan U2.3.0/K(no kernel code presently loaded)
Checking for IPsec support in kernel [FAILURE]
Instead I managed to crash the network issuing ipsec setup start.
On my WS4 I do not even manage to load some kernel modules as it
seems the 2.6 kernel series has its own ipsec kernel modules and
openswan is "just" an interface for setting things up but Im not
able to do so as openswan does not find any ipsec support in the
kernel.
Anyone with a hint for me to push me into the right direction
what to do? Do I have to recompile the kernel? Use plain vanilla
kernel?
Does anybody know what to do for getting a working ipsec connection?
Marcus
