[H-GEN] Openswan VPN

[Nikolai Lusan]

Greetings all,

I am in the process of setting up a VPN for myself using openswan to do
IPSEC. I am fairly sure I have my head wrapped around what the configs
should look like (a tad uncertain about the fact that one end is going
to need to be capable of going though NAT - this would be my laptop
connecting from where ever I happen to be that is not home). The issue I
am having at the moment is that when I try gatherig the information to
put together the config I get this:

host# ipsec showhostkey --left
ipsec showhostkey: no default key in "/etc/ipsec.secrets"

the ipsec.secrest file contains a line like this:: 

RSA /etc/ipsec.d/private/MyHostKey.pem


The keys and associated certs are all valid and exist. Googling show I
am not the only person to have this error occur but didn't show a
solution to the problem.

Any help is appreciated very much :)
