[cobalt-users] help with freeswan-qube3

[agarc324@xxxxxxxxxxx]

hi!

we're trying to setup up a vpn (for educational purposes). we
want that schools having a Qube3 could connect with the main LAN
and use services, throught a secure tunnel managed by the
freeswan server (a redhat 7.3 box).

in the first stage (now) we have the Qube3 and the freeswan
server on the same lan (the main LAN)... and later we test it
from remote schools. the scenario is something like this:


                          PC1     PC2     PC3
                           |       |       |
                     ==x===x=======x=======x== 192.168.0.0
                       |
                     Qube3
                       |
                       |
 (FreeS/Wan)     DSL Connection (not yet)
     RH73              |
      |                |
    ==x===x========x===x== (Main LAN)
          |        |
       server1  server2

(Note: on first stage the DSL is an ethernet connection)

as could see, the qube3 may establish the tunnel with the
freeswan server and PC's (inside school) use it as a default
gateway.

then, we have up the freeeswan server (and, i hope, properly
configured) but i don't know how vpn/ipsec negociation works,
and the /var/log/messages doesn't give information about testing
i'm doing

somebody cuold help me?

thanks in advance,

topi
