I don't know about potato, but kernel-patch-freeswan in woody (1.9-1),
is not working with 2.4.10.
I succeeded with a woody system:
linux 2.4.10
kernel-patch-freeswan (1.91-3) from sid
freeswan (1.91-3) from sid
one end behind NAT
I built a kernel-package with make-kpkg:
export PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES
make-kpkg --revision 3:myhost.1 --append-to-version -ipsec \
--config menuconfig kernel-image kernel-headers
I used the documentation from www.freeswan.org.
- Beware of your firewall configuration
- Don't try to ping one end from the other. The ends are not pingable,
unless you set up SNAT rules to change source address of
packets going through the tunnel to an ip (private) the other end
knows how to reach.
