From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041216 Firefox/1.0 Red Hat/1.0-13.EL4 Description of problem: Even with a correct ifcfg for ipsec with manual keying ifup-ipsec fails to activate the encryption. The real bug is a pair '"' put around every key in the call to setkey, that leads to an error. The secondary problem is that the failure of this call is not detected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.93.11.EL-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure ifcfg for ipsec with manual keying 2. ifup ipsec interface 3. setkey -D Actual Results: No keys set Expected Results: Keys set Additional info: Resolution for the primary problem would be to remove all $(echo '"') around the KEY...s. Resolution for the secondary problem would be evaluation of the setkey exit codes.
I can't reproduce this here. Can you attach your config file?
