I can really say "I'm not lucky with VPN solutions!!"
First, I tried superfreeswan then openswan then freeswan with kernel
compiled for NAT-T support.
In lab, it worked. Over the internet it never worked.........
I had no good support neither answers to some of my questions (surely
due to bugs)
I discovered today openvpn (tada.....),
first: impossible to install it on my redhat9.0
I always got the message
configure: checking for OpenSSL SSL Library and Header files...
checking openssl/ssl.h usability... no
checking openssl/ssl.h presence... no
checking for openssl/ssl.h... no
configure: error: OpenSSL SSL headers not found.
I have openssl installed on this system:
# rpm -qa|grep ssl
mod_ssl-2.0.40-21.9
openssl-devel-0.9.7a-20
openssl-0.9.7a-20
I post a message on this list but no answer :-((
I tried to attach my config.log to this mail, but there's a limit of
40k/message.
Then I find a RPM package from dag's repository
(http://dag.wieers.com/packages/openvpn/)
Installation is correct, but when I try to launch openvpn, I got the
following in /var/log/messages:

WHAT CAN I DO ???
