Yes. Upstream seems to want to be FIPS 140-2 compliant. I wonder why

Sorry, we didn't catch that during QA as nobody doing so had openswan
configured :)

more or less unintelligible.

I just got told that you have to feed all certificates to nss storage
instead of having them in pem files.

See README.nss for more hints.
