Hello,

 While trying to set up an IPSEC Bridge based on the IPSEC instructions given 
on the BRCONFIG(8)man I keep getting this error on either side of the bridge.

# ipsecctl -f /etc/ipsec.conf
/etc/ipsec.conf: 3: syntax error
ipsecctl: Syntax error in config file: ipsec rules not loaded

This is what /etc/ipsec.conf looks like on 192.168.1.23

cat# cat /etc/ipsec.conf
esp from 192.168.1.23 to 192.168.1.25 spi 0x4242:0x4243 authkey file 
"/root/keys/auth_key:/root/keys/auth_key" enckey file 
"/root/keys/enc_key:/root/keys/enc_key"

flow esp proto etherip from 192.168.1.23 to 192.168.1.25

This is what /etc/ipsec.conf looks like on 192.168.1.25
# cat /etc/ipsec.conf
esp from 192.168.1.25 to 192.168.1.23 spi 0x4243:0x4242 authkey file 
"/root/keys/auth_key:/root/keys/auth_key" enckey file 
"/root/keys/enc_key:/root/keys/enc_key"

flow esp proto etherip from 192.168.1.25 to 192.168.1.23

If I remove the entry "proto etherip" I do not get the error, however according 
to documentation the bridge will not use IPSEC. I thank anyone for their time 
on this as I have successfully set up VPN as per VPN man page and that works, 
but would perfer to use this approach for this particular application. Thanks 
again.
