Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 168973
No mechanism for configuring road-warrior gateway/client except by hand

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #126912 +++ From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040623 Description of problem: It seems that the Redhat ifcfg-ipsec0 config for ipsec-tools can not be configured as a gateway for ipsec road warriors. There is a requirement that the remote device be specified on all tunnels, which is impossible to do in a road warrior config, as there is no way the ipsec-tools gateway can know in advance what IP addresses the road warrior will use to connect to the server. This is a serious limitation to RHEL3, and with the lack of stability of freeswan is a serious setback to anybody trying to deploy a ipsec gateway. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ipsec-tools-0.2.5-0.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: xxx Additional info: -- Additional comment from notting@redhat.com on 2004-06-29 01:17 EST -- AFAIK, this is not possible with ipsec-tools-0.2.x. -- Additional comment from minfrin@sharp.fm on 2004-06-29 06:30 EST -- Not according to http://www.ipsec-howto.org/x247.html. So far it looks like all docs for ipsec-tools are contradictory, the Redhat supplied docs are incomplete are quite clearly have never been tested. It raises the question of whether ipsec-tools have any business being inside the RHEL3 distribution in the first place.
Hi Bill, Is this bug still applicable to rawhide? John
These scripts were moved to ipsec-tools.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
ipsec-tools is not really supported for real deployments in fedora. Please use libreswan instead. ipsec-tools is mostly used for interop testing with libreswan. ipsec-tools has further been replaced by openswan in rhel6 (and libreswan in rhel7)
