What gives an authentication error, FreeS/WAN or your IPsec?
During the course of some work I've tested 1600 byte pings over an
IPsec tunnel mode connection to FreeS/WAN from OpenBSD, FreeBSD,
Solaris, Windows and FreeS/WAN. In all cases the (FreeS/WAN) receiver
correctly re-assembled and decrypted the packets. I haven't tried
with larger packets which would require more than two fragments so
perhaps that explains the difference in our results?
