Bug 127314 – Openswan-2.4.4 verify command looks for ipsec.conf in wrong place

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Richard Scott 2006-03-23 07:42:37 UTC]

After emerging openswan-2.4.4 and then running the "ipsec setup start" command followed by the "ipsec verify" command I get the following error in the output:

cat: /etc/ipsec.conf: No such file or directory

I have found that there is an error in the /usr/libexec/ipsec/verify file on line 286.

The incorrect line is:

open("cat","/etc/ipsec.conf");

and this needs to be changed to the following to keep inline with the current gentoo style.

open("cat","/etc/ipsec/ipsec.conf");

I hope this can be included in the next release.

oh, also found this on line 379:

@configfiles[0] = "/etc/ipsec.conf";

should be:

@configfiles[0] = "/etc/ipsec/ipsec.conf";

and on line 381:

open(OE,"grep ^include /etc/ipsec.conf|");

should be:

open(OE,"grep ^include /etc/ipsec/ipsec.conf|");

I've assumed the maintainer position.

This has been fixed by upstream in 2.4.7, which is now in the tree.
