Re: [Users] Private Key

When you have generated the private key using OpenSSL:

   openssl genrsa -des3 -out gatewayKey.pem 1024
   Passphrase: just a silly passphrase

then you can directly import this key file into FreeS/WAN by
copying gatewayKey.pem into /etc/ipsec.d/private and inserting
the line

: RSA gatewayKey.pem "just a silly passphrase"

into /etc/ipsec.secrets.
