RE: [Users] IPSec over PPPoE

Thanks Charles.
        I'm running the patched kernel in Bering and the PPPoE stuff seems to work fine. It's got Shorewall which I also use at work and AH/ESP ports are opened up automagically when the tunnels file is used. I've dropped the mtu of ipsec0 down to 1412, but the issue seems to be that ipsec cannot identify the ppp0 device or it's ip address. Could this be related to NOT using RP's implementation? Is it something intrinsic to the Bering release? I notice a space after your description of ipsec0=ppp0 and before the closing quote - is that on purpose or simply a typo?

PS Charles - Thank you for replying and indeed for all your good work - the Internet community is much richer from your efforts.

Thanks,
