How to Get Openswan Started



How to Get Openswan Started

You can configure Openswan to start at boot time using the chkconfig command:

    [root@bigboy tmp]# chkconfig ipsec on

You can start, stop, and restart Openswan after booting using the ipsec initialization script as shown:

    [root@bigboy tmp]# service ipsec start
    [root@bigboy tmp]# service ipsec stop
    [root@bigboy tmp]# service ipsec restart

Remember to restart the ipsec process every time you make a change to the ipsec.conf file for the changes to take effect on the running process.
