Heya,
I've created IPSec tunnels to netscreen devices from CentOS using the
built-in ipsec-tools (aka racoon), but had to upgrade to a newer version
(0.6.5 at the time) because I needed NAT-T and X-Auth support. The only
real catch I had was that I needed to upgrade to kernel 2.6.16 or newer
to get the IPTables and NAT'ing to work properly coming out of the
tunnel.
The other fun part was trying to line up vendor terminology vs racoon
terminology.
Never tried to connect to a checkpoint device...but that NAT'ing problem
took a few weeks to track down that I needed to upgrade the kernel, so I
figured I would mention it!
Mike

Subject: [CentOS] Connecting CentOS to IPSEC VPN (Checkpoint FW1)
Hi,
Does anyone have experience using IPSEC on CentOS in order to connect to
vendor IPSEC-based VPN products (specifically Checkpoint FW1) ?
Is the included IPSEC implementation sufficient, or do people have to
rely
on OpenSWAN or FreeSWAN ? I'd be testing tomorrow and I'm interested
with
experiences others have had and things to look out for.
Thanks in advance,
