Reverse-path filtering is on by default under RedHat 7.3. Generally
this is a good thing, except it screws up FreeS/WAN by dropping
encrypted packets. So you have to turn it off on any interface that
FreeS/WAN is using. That's what the above message is saying. Do the
following :-

  $ echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/rp_filter

and all will be well. To make it permanent put :-

  net.ipv4.conf.eth0.rp_filter = 0

in /etc/sysctl.conf
