Hi, I went back over 2 years of archives, and didn't see much about this, so if you know I missed something, please forgive me, and steer me in the right direction. I'm trying to get IPSec running between 2 RHEL5 boxes (2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 #1 SMP), using either racoon or openswan. Using racoon (and GUI), I'm getting this: Feb 18 12:39:37 STORE191 racoon: 2010-02-18 12:39:37: INFO: initiate new phase 1 negotiation: 128.181.3.207[500]<=>128.181.3.201[500] Feb 18 12:39:37 STORE191 racoon: 2010-02-18 12:39:37: INFO: begin Aggressive mode.

Now, it fails on me (as per above). Of course, I do have a psk.txt in the /etc/racoon directory on both sides, with IP address and key. If I kill racoon, and "service ipsec start" I get this: Feb 18 10:02:28 STORE191 ipsec__plutorun: 002 "test": deleting connection Feb 18 10:02:28 STORE191 ipsec__plutorun: 002 added connection description "test" Feb 18 10:02:28 STORE191 ipsec__plutorun: right: do something with host case: 0 Feb 18 10:02:29 STORE191 ipsec__plutorun: 000 "test": request to add a prospective erouted policy with netkey kernel --- not yet implemented Feb 18 10:02:29 STORE191 ipsec__plutorun: 104 "test" #1: STATE_MAIN_I1: initiate Feb 18 10:02:31 STORE191 setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing ip (ifconfig_t) "read write" to socket (initrc_t).

SELinux is disabled on both servers (and tells me it's in permissive mode). Any suggestions will be appreciated. I can send the .conf files, if needed. Once I can reliably get IPSec working with either method, I want to get it working with a Windows2003R2 server. Does anyone know which method works best with Windows?
