-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

        This is the 6th release of Super FreeS/WAN, version 1.98b-kb6

Super FreeS/WAN is a largely patched up version of FreeS/WAN (www.freeswan.org)
with support for all sorts of addtional features that aren't considered
mainline, or haven't been tested enough for the FreeS/WAN developers to accept into
the mainline branch.

Think of it as the -ac branch of the Linux Kernel. Cool new toys that
aren't tested well enough for "production use" land here first. Then we
beg the developers to accept the patches until they get in (or so we
hope!)

This version includes the following patches:

X.509 0.9.15
ALG 0.8.0 (All ciphers/hashes enabled)
Notify/Delete SA (020904 version)
NAT Traversal 0.3

As well, the following bugfixes have been applied on top of these:

Bugfix for Pluto lifetime problem (from DHR's post on design mailing list)
Bugfix for serpent.c to compile on broken kernels with __fswab32 not
defined correctly.

This version of Super FreeS/WAN is made possible by patches from the
following folks:

Andreas Steffan - X.509 patches
Mathieu Lafon - Notify/DeleteSA, NAT Traversal
JuanJo Ciarlante - ALG patches
FreeS/WAN Team - v1.98b + providing me access to thier CVS tree to get
bugfixes

And various folks for testing it, and sending me feedback.

For a complete list of changes, check CHANGES.SUPERFS.

Enjoy! Feedback for bugs with the package itself to ken_at_freeswan.ca

Please don't email me directly for support - use the mailing list for
that, as the authors of each of the patches are there, as are other people
who can probably help quicker than I can -
http://lists.freeswan.org/mailman/listinfo/users.

If you had problems compiling _kb4, _kb5, please try this version. A fix
for the __fswab32 errors that make pluto + whack fali to compile, giving
people various different errors (inc. the --ike ambigous error) has been
checked in (Thanks to JuanJo for submitting the patch).
