Hello, it looks like the usual way to do ipsec on centos5 won't work anymore on centos6

I installed ipsec-tools but an interface type IPsec is not recognized by the kernel

ifup ipsec0 Device does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

I am not planning to use the awful OpenSwan, I Want to sue the Kame implementation which was working fine on CentOS5

any hints ?

thank you

Hmm...

I have been using ipsec-tools on linux for a long time and was never had it create and ipsec0 device.

Only when I was using FreeSwan years ago, did I see and ipsec device.

this is specific to rhel5 - they have /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ipsec for that.

in rhel6 this possibility was replaced
