Problems building FreeSWAN kernel package.

[Nick Jennings <nick@namodn.com>]

Hello,

  Getting a VPN set up on my gateway machine. Running woody (2.4.17).

Installed the packages:
freeswan, kernel-patch-freeswan, kernel-package, gawk

After reading /usr/share/doc/kerne-package-freeswan/README.Debian I 
also installed:
kernel-source-2.4.17, kernel-headers-2.4.17

gateway:/# /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17/
gateway:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17# make-kpkg --config=menuconfig --revision=gateway.ipsec.1 buildpackage

The documentation (README.Debian) is pretty sparse, and I don't know where 
else to go to get info on doing this. Any comments or suggestions greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
