Description Wade Mealing 2003-07-20 02:21:49 UTC

when using ipsec to get host keys, --left or --right, it tries to look in
/etc/ipsec.secrets and not in the correct location of /etc/ipsec/ipsec.secrets

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge super-freeswan
2. Generate hostkey (if not already generated ) ipsec newhostkey --hostname
www.subverted.net --output /etc/ipsec/ipsec.secrets --bits 2192
3. ipsec showhostkey --left

Actual Results:  
Got an error in regards to file not existing....

ipsec showhostkey --right
ipsec showhostkey: file `/etc/ipsec.secrets' does not exist

Expected Results:  
Showing the host key.. 

Symlinking fixes the problem, but this shouldn't happen.

ln -s /etc/ipsec/ipsec.secrets /etc/ipsec.secrets
