Public bug reported:
In early testing, I was unable to create a VPN connection using Fedora
Release 12 and StrongSwan driver.
Found out from StrongSwan IRC folks these issues:
A) Unlike Ubuntu, both Strongswan and LibreSwan can be installed at once
B) Fedora uses the process name "strongswan", whereas Ubuntu uses "ipsec". The
"ipsec" process is for LIbreSwan, under Fedora.
C) The may be some sensitivity to tabs, in the config file, for Fedora (use
only one?)
The StrongSwan folks also mentioned about a issue, where one needs a kernel
with support for XFRM and namespaces. They stated that there can be problems
with passing traffic. They indicated it was a kernel issue and therefore
applied to all Swan flavors.
Research is needed to see if both Ubuntu and Fedora kernels have this
support. Currently, we don't see an issue with Ubuntu, but should verify
the kernel for all target operating systems.
