Hello Charles and Lynn,

Once more your comments and suggestions are well noted.
I'll try using using PSK and, I hope this works. This means
clearing all the certs and der file I've created in /etc/.. and
/etc/ipsec.d right? And if this is posible, I won't need x509
at all! hhhmmm... simpler... cleaner... anyways, I'll try.

Regards - Vic
