Hi everybody, Pretty soon the 2.5 kernel will have native ipsec. Now I know you are all dying to play with that. I expect the first stuff to show up two weeks from now, maybe earlier. Dave Miller and Alexey Kuznetsov are working on it, parts are in 2.5.44 already, although you can't use them for IPSEC yet. So if you are interested, now is the time to get 2.5 working on your system so you can get going with IPSEC the moment it arrives. The 2.5 kernel really needs deployments in order to figure out what is working right and what isn't. The IPSEC going in is NOT based on FreeS/WAN but it is heavily inspired by the USAGI IPv6 patch. It also uses a modified CryptoAPI subsystem. It appears that it will use userspace parts of FreeS/WAN though, specifically 'pluto'. There is no source yet, it is set to appear around 27 October, but may not be merged immediately.
