Also, and I know this might be a COMPLETE SHOCK to some people, but we
do have a full in-kernel IPSEC stack and using it with openswan to
connect to VPNs works perfectly fine.
I use it every day.
It's quite amusing that people use a userland IPSEC implementation
via VPNC, in spite of this.
Have a look here
https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/dulug/2007-March/010792.html
where someone seems to be in my same boat. No, openswan/IPSEC
does not work in all configurations with Cisco VPN concentrators -
and by Murphy's law, I'm in the non-working configuration.
Hope this clarifies the reason I asked. And if anyone out there
is in doubt about it, I absolutely hate having to rebuild an out
of kernel module every time I build a kernel, crossing fingers
it doesn't break (again). I would use *anything* else.
