It already has been ported to Linux 2.5: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-net&m=105263059824311&w=2 And by non other than our own kernel maintainer, Herbert Xu. Personally, I think the BSD racoon and setkey programs are much nicer than the FreeS/WAN stuff anyway, and I'm happy to see that that's what the 2.5+ IPsec implementation will use. The freeswan developers are way too focused on the opportunistic encryption thing, which I don't believe is particularly valuable. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
