Yeah, I'm not too happy about how freeswan is handled right now, either. Basically, all the changes you're seeing are the result of the packaging of freeswan 2.0, as far as I can tell. There was a debconf note shown during, IIRC, the installation of the latest freeswan userland package. It warned of all the stuff you're complaining about. Fortunately we won't need freeswan anymore, once Linux 2.6 is out (or if you want to use linux 2.5). But still, I thought the old freeswan packages worked very well, and the new changes do seem to sacrifice some of the package's usefulness to me. noah
