Subject: [suse-sparc] Possible SPAM (accuracy low): Freeswan and SuSE Sparc Linux

    Hi all,

    I'm at why wits end here. I have a Sun Sparc 20 SMP (sun4m) loaded with SuSE
    linux 7.3 and I've upgraded the kernel to 2.4.20pre-9. I'm trying to get
    freeswan to work so that I can configure vpn with a friend of mine to see how
    it all works.

    The problem that I'm running into is that the freeswan kernel modules that come
    on the cd are for the 2.2.x series of kernels. I thought that I could download
    the source rpms from freeswan.org since they have SuSE src rpms there, but
    whenever I compile them, they compile just fine, but on installation of the
    freeswan rpm, they all lock up in the same place, when it's running
    the /usr/lib/ipsec/rsasigkey to generate the ipsec.secrets file. I thought
    that maybe the sparc machine was a little slow, and it just needed, a bit of
    time to do all the number crunching. But after letting it run all night, and
    still stuck at the same place, I've come to the conclusion that this isn't the
    case.

    Has anybody gotten freeswan to compile and work on a Sun Sparc 20 with a 2.4.x
    kernel, or am I going to have to resort to using a 2.2.x kernel and going back
    to ipchains or put an x86 version as the firewall?

    Ed
