Right, still I would like to opt to at least try to upgrade the kernel and the security relevant packages to an actual level of 2.4 for all that still would like to use the 2.4 branch. I am just about to integrate the latest 2.4 OpenSwan into my stack, next thing will be to move to 2.4.37.9 with the kernel. Also Openvpn and openssl is some way off the latest LEAF collection. cheers Erich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
