I wish to set up a VPN between a checkpoint fw-1 and a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 2.1 server hosted of site. I am attempting to install ipsec on the server but the kernal is not compatible and I am reluctant to patch the kernal and if I upgrade the kernal it will not be supported by our hosting provider.
There seems to be a ipsec-tools package provided for later versions of Redhat ES. Is there a version for 2.1? Is this differnet for the freeswan ipsec and if so which is the better option to take?
Can you tell me how safe the kernal patching process is to link KLIPS statically into the kernel? I have no facility for testing and will have to make the patch on the production server.
Any advice or product recommendations would be much appreciate
Many Thanks
Ian
