The Debian kernel is already patched to include a backport of the IPsec implementation from Linux 2.6. Although I havent't tried this myself, I would expect this to be the reason why you were not able to apply the freeswan patch. Your choices are probably: - use the Linux 2.6 IPsec, either in 2.4 (backported) or 2.6; no further patches need to be applied to the kernel, the userspace applications are a different story (ask again if you need help there) - download a vanilla kernel from kernel.org and apply the freeswan patch, or any of the derivatives which are still maintained (openswan or strongswan, last time I checked) I hope this helps, Mirko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
