Re: [Users] no RSA public key found

You must specify the complete DN of the peer, i.e.

rightid="C=CH, ST=ZH, L=Zurich, O=madduck.net,CN=fishbowl.dyn.madduck.net"

I think that you omitted ST=ZH and L=Zurich. If you type

   ipsec auto --status

then the connection definition must exactly match the ID that the peer
sends to you.
