4.2.1.6.1. Host-to-Host Connection - no IPsec tab found
Last modified: 2014-06-27 14:30:19 EDT
Created attachment 816182 [details] When I type system-config-network, this is what I see Description of problem: In section 4.2.1.6.1. Host-to-Host Connection The first few steps don't seem to work: 1) In a command shell, type system-config-network to start the Network Administration Tool. 2) On the IPsec tab, click New to start the IPsec configuration wizard. I don't see any IPsec tab. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@hoho6 user1]# uname -a Linux hoho6.chidig.com 3.11.6-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 18 22:34:18 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@hoho6 user1]# I did a yum update a few minutes ago. How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a terminal session, log in as root 2. type 'system-config-network' 3. look for IPsec tab. Actual results: Could not find IPsec tab Expected results: Found IPsec tab Additional info:
It looks like the functionality of system-config-network is now done by the NetworkManager (since Fedora 16?) In documentation 5.1. The NetworkManager Daemon The command service NetworkManager start is now done by a systemd friendly process: [root@hoho6 user1]# service NetworkManager start Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start NetworkManager.service [root@hoho6 user1]# ----- I'm continuing along this path..
Following the instructions in the documentation, I finally rest at this point: [user1@hoho6 ~]$ nm-applet & [1] 4907 [user1@hoho6 ~]$ ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area ** Message: Stopping registered applet secret agent because GNOME Shell is running ----- It is a little confusing.
Sorry for the delay (and the incorrect information). The Security Guide is undergoing an audit and we're finding a lot of old instructions. The IPSec instructions fall into that "old information". We've already rewritten portions of the VPN section. Hope to get this out in time for Fedora 21.
