Hi,

I tried that before and couldn't get it working :(
Then I asked the Kame peps and it seems that ipcomp
is not supported yet in tunnel mode. That was for
FreeBSD 4.8 and I don't think it has changed since then.

Karim.

The thread is about FreeS/WAN and kernel 2.6 (2.6 IPSec stack is a KAME
based). However Linux 2.6 and FreeBSD have the same behaviour.

Comments?

TIA
