Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-25 18:58:30 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 4 Giuseppe Ragusa 2013-04-12 14:23:07 UTC
This bug is still present in latest RHEL 6.4.

I can confirm that a rebuild of the source openswan package WITHOUT NSS DOES NOT present the aforementioned bug.

Furthermore, as Bugzilla help suggests:

 NOTABUG
    The problem described is not a bug. An explaination of why this resolution has been chosen should be supplied. 

The "explaination" is sorely missing.

Mr Avesh Agarwal should either present the aforementioned "explaination" or reopen this bug and get it fixed for real.
