remember freeswan is ONLY for the older 2.0.X kernels. There are new
packages for the newer kernels <2.2.X>. some folks have had to either
give up on the IPSeC thing with linux cause they could not find a newer
package to play with the most current, or had to drop back to older
versions of the OS to play the game.

OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything.
