Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.16-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run system-config-network 2. Create an IPSEC connection but do not specify gateway addresses 3. Attempt to save the resulting configuration Actual Results: system-config-network blows up Expected Results: Configuration should have been saved Additional info:
If you want a "Host2Host VPN", you are not asked for any Gateway??? Second page of the wizard lets you specify the type of the connection.
Big Oops! Net2Net VPN asks for the gateway but does not use it. That is what I was attempting to create, not Host2Host.
ok... thx
