Unfortunately it seems that libreswan and openswan are not exactly compatible. When trying to use networkmanager-openswan I get the following (after hacking the dbus-config to call a wrapper for nm-openswan-service which redirects stdout/stderr to syslog as well): Jul 21 08:55:34 storm nm-openswan-service[13238]: ** Message: openswan: ipsec started with pid 13241 Jul 21 08:55:34 storm nm-openswan-service[13238]: systemd: ipsec service is already running Jul 21 08:55:36 storm nm-openswan-service[13238]: ** Message: openswan: ipsec auto started with pid 13426 Jul 21 08:55:36 storm nm-openswan-service[13238]: can not load config '-': -:17: syntax error, unexpected EOL, expecting $end [] Jul 21 08:55:36 storm nm-openswan-service[13238]: Jul 21 08:55:36 storm nm-openswan-service[13238]: (nm-openswan-service:13237): GLib-WARNING **: GChildWatchSource: Exit status of a child process was requested but ECHILD was received by waitpid(). Most likely the process is ignoring SIGCHLD, or some other thread is invoking waitpid() with a nonpositive first argument; either behavior can break applications that use g_child_watch_add()/g_spawn_sync() either directly or indirectly.
