If you are trying to use certificates, then take a look at this URL, from
the X.509 Installation and Configuration Guide:

www.strongsec.com/freeswan/install.htm#section_5.1

It specifies how you should declare RSA private key files using X.509
certificates. Also, take a look at Section 4.1 on configuring the FreeS/WAN
connections.

If this doesn't resolve the problem, can you post more details on the
tunnels you are trying to set up, your ipsec.conf file and perhaps even a
very edited ipsec.secrets file.
