Re: [Users] ipsec.secrets troubles

FreeS/WAN 1.96 should be accompanied by X.509 patch version 0.9.9
which already supports the form

: RSA key.pem "<optional passphrase>"

The passphrase is needed if the key is protected by 3DES
encryption. Don't forget to terminate the line by a newline.
fswcert is not used any more.

Regards

Andreas
