I managed to narrow it down, Ubuntu compiles Strongswan with: --with-capabilities=libcap
I changed this to: --with-capabilities=no And now it works! I have *no* idea what caused libcap functionality to fail. This 32-bit Ubuntu uses the same kernel configuration (as far as generic kernel configuration goes...) as my 64-bit Gentoo laptop and 64-bit desktop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014361 Title: Strongswan fails to access /dev/urandom To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/strongswan/+bug/1014361/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
