Hi I want to run the strongswan in the namespace (https://docs.strongswan.org/docs/5.9/howtos/nameSpaces.html)
In configure gave options as below ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --with-piddir=/etc/run namespace I have is netns1 Now my etc folder looks like "/etc/netns/netns1/" and run folder is "/etc/netns/netns1/run" All my configs are now moved to /etc/netns/netns1 . In namespace when I try to start ipsec "ip netns exec netns1 ipsec start" , gives me error as below Bind /etc/netns/netns1/cups -> /etc/cups failed: No such file or directory Bind /etc/netns/netns1/ipsec.d -> /etc/ipsec.d failed: No such file or directory Bind /etc/netns/netns1/strongswan.conf -> /etc/strongswan.conf failed: No such file or directory Bind /etc/netns/netns1/strongswan.d -> /etc/strongswan.d failed: No such file or directory Bind /etc/netns/netns1/swanctl -> /etc/swanctl failed: No such file or directory no files found matching '/etc/strongswan.conf' abort initialization due to invalid configuration Starting strongSwan 5.7.2 IPsec [starter]... expanding file pattern '/etc/ipsec.d/*.conf' failed: No such file or directory # deprecated keyword 'plutodebug' in config setup # deprecated keyword 'virtual_private' in config setup ### 2 parsing errors (0 fatal) ### It seems ipsec facing issue while trying to use the namespace specific folder Any inputs on this would be really helpfull. Thanks in advance. vlrk
