Description Paul Wouters 2008-05-19 20:59:31 UTC
Description of problem:
openswan 2.6.09-2.fc9 ships with Opportunistic Encryption (OE) enabled while
using the netkey(xfrm) stack. This is causing connection failures

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.09-2.fc9


Additional info:

Add oe=off to the section "config setup" in /etc/ipsec.conf

Comment 1 Paul Wouters 2008-05-19 21:00:11 UTC
note that in openswan-2.4.x the oe= option did not exist, and OE was disabled by
including /etc/ipsec.d/examples/no_oe.conf.

Comment 2 Paul Wouters 2008-05-20 04:12:07 UTC
note: openswan-2.6.9 has broken IKEv2 code. It is incompatable with other IKEv2
daemons and with openswan-2.6.12+. Please use 2.6.13 (or 2.6.14 when available)

patch4 also breaks dynamic clents using left=%defaultroute. please remove that
broken patch.

Comment 3 Paul Wouters 2008-10-09 21:01:11 UTC
- I see that oe=off is still not enabled in the ipsec.conf :(

- There is no virtual_private= defined, so it won't work as client behind NAT

- Many fixes between 2.6.14 - 2.6.18, should really update the entire package. See CHANGES

- openswan-2.6-intwarning.patch breaks certain setups and should really NOT be applied to the package anymore.

- why not Buildrequires: xmlto so we can build up to date man pages from xml?
  openswan-2.6-noxmlto.patch should go away IMHO

Comment 4 Paul Wouters 2008-10-09 21:33:25 UTC
I just checked openswan-2.6.18-1.fc10

- openswan-2.6.16-initscript-correction.patch will cause breaking with NFS mounts via IPsec. (obviously /usr is a problem, but others don't have to be)

- oe=off should still be added

- virtual_private= with RFC1918 space should still be added (see man ipsec.conf)

- openswan-2.6-intwarning.patch is still an urgent problem

Comment 5 Paul Wouters 2008-10-09 21:39:15 UTC
- Why compile with USE_LWRES=false ? It would be better to BuildRequire: bind-devel. We haven't been testing with USE_LWRES=false for about a year now, as it is the obsolete resolving method (we need lwres for non-blocking dns helper threads and for DNSSEC)

Comment 6 Paul Wouters 2008-10-09 22:18:07 UTC
- License: GPLv2+

That's wrong. The license is v2, not v2+
It is also partially BSD license for some crypto code.

Comment 7 Paul Wouters 2008-10-09 22:21:26 UTC
- rm -rf programs/readwriteconf

why is that done? readwriteconf is only used when running 'make check' ?

Comment 8 Paul Wouters 2009-01-23 16:02:58 UTC
original bug is closed, the rest is just chatter that does not really matter anymore.
