Ok, I have got a 2.4.18ipsec kernel, I have freeswan 1.97 installed. I am trying to get it to connect to a BEFVP41 and keeping knocking my head into a wall. I am getting an error during negotiation (right after authentication) about a Client ID proposal being rejected. Any clues on this? Sorry if this is a simple question/answer. Can someone send me a sample ipsec.conf (address dummied intelligently out for security) so I can examine it? thanks in advance. I think after this I am going to write a very simple step-by-step for other people trying to do what I did (I know a few)
