I was able to get all of the IP level VPN stuff set up, just by putting the correct entries in /etc/ipsec.conf (and enabling the right programs to run at boot time). Is it possible to achieve the bridging level (layer 2) functionality with just entries in ipsec.conf, or do I still have to do all the things I was doing outside it? I suspect the later based upon the brconfig man page, but I'd like to confirm this. -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. (Dennis Ritchie)
