[Wylug-help] FC9 and Openswan - 1st time questions

[Gary Stainburn]

Hi folks.

I've just set up two FC9 boxes and yum installed openswan.

I've followed the instructions from the wiki for setting up the roadwarrior 
setup, including creating newhostkeys, creating /etc/ipsec.d/road.conf by 
cut/paste'ing the code from the wiki page and changing IP addresses and keys 
as appropriate.

When I then restarted the ipsec services and ran ipsec auto --up road all 
looked fine.

However, I have two questions.

1) with previous (non-openswan) VPN's I've ended up with virtual net devices 
(e.g. ppp0) representing both ends of the link which I can then use for IP 
routing. This time I don't have any new net devices. Is this right? and if 
so, how do I now do routing?

2) I saw the command ipsec verify and got the following output.  What do the 
failures mean, and how do I fix them?

[root at groucho ~]# ipsec verify
Checking your system to see if IPsec got installed and started correctly:
Version check and ipsec on-path                                 [OK]
