Hi,

I downloaded and installed -current's iked this morning and installed the 
local.pub files;  I'm happy to report:

Nov 11 08:37:51 venus iked[5335]: sa_state: VALID -> ESTABLISHED from 
192.168.179.10:500 to 192.168.179.1:500 policy 'policy1'

Thank you very very much MikeB!  And thank you to the other fellow in this 
thread too!

I'm a very happy camper, and aes encrypted again!
