Matthew & Bill,

Thank you for the response. I am now able to establish the tunnel using
RSA signature, though there are still bit and pieces and I need to put
together.

Regards,
Kelvin

You are passing RSA authentication now without error. Exchange type 6 is

the modecfg exchange and is used after phase 1 and before phase 2. You 
will see this error when using an old verson of ipsec-tools or a newer 
version that has been compiled without the --enable-hybdid configure 
option. I believe the version of ipsec-tools shipped with pfsense is a 
rather old version.

If you happen to be using the Shrew Soft VPN Client to connect with a 
pfsense gateway, here is a post on the vpn help mailing list that you 
may find useful. It basically describes what options need to be 
configured manually so that the modecfg exchange will be skipped.
