[strongSwan] IPSEC_CONFDIR does not work?

2009-09-10 Thread Zhang, Long (Roger)
Hi,

I want to put all configuration file under my directory. Then I exported 
IPSEC_CONFDIR, but seems the IPSEC_CONFDIR does not work. Not sure why.

My shell is bash. Tried two ways. And could not start my connection. If I 
started my conection under /etc, it could succeed. Curious, IPSEC_CONFDIR 
should be set.

[r...@localhost config]# export IPSEC_CONFDIR=/home/zhangl/ipsec/config
[r...@localhost config]# echo $IPSEC_CONFDIR
/home/zhangl/ipsec/config
[r...@localhost config]# ipsec --confdir
/etc



[r...@localhost config]# IPSEC_CONFDIR=/home/zhangl/ipsec/config
[r...@localhost config]# export IPSEC_CONFDIR
[r...@localhost config]# echo $IPSEC_CONFDIR
/home/zhangl/ipsec/config
[r...@localhost config]# ipsec --confdir
/etc

Thanks,
Roger

If you look at the first few lines of the ipsec script, you will see 
that it assigns IPSEC_CONFDIR to /etc. That's why your approach doesn't 
work.

You could edit the script and see what happens.

But I don't really know if that is the correct way to do what you want. 
That would depend on the behaviour of all the other scripts/binaries, 
which I don't know.

From ipsec man page, seems these variables can be configurable?

   The following environment variables control where strongSwan finds its 
components.  The ipsec command sets them  if  they
   are not already set.

   IPSEC_DIR   directory containing ipsec programs and utilities
   IPSEC_SBINDIR   directory containing ipsec command
   IPSEC_CONFDIR   directory containing configuration files
   IPSEC_PIDDIRdirectory containing PID files
   IPSEC_NAME  name of ipsec distribution
   IPSEC_VERSION   version numer of ipsec userland and kernel
   IPSEC_STARTER_PID   PID file for ipsec starter
   IPSEC_PLUTO_PID PID file for IKEv1 keying daemon
   IPSEC_CHARON_PIDPID file for IKEv2 keying daemon

Thanks,
Roger
