Hi Matthew.

Thankyou for your efforts.

Shrew works very well with my particular ADSL modem and its
strongswan IPSEC VPN implementation, but I was using it in a winXPSP2
VM running on my Macbook.

I wanted to run it natively on MacOSX.5.8 rather than the VM, so I
followed your instructions.

As requested I am feeding back some issues that I had.

After installing all 3 packages, I was unable to run the shrew admin
GUI, so I restarted the macbook. It failed to show the login window,
instead it appeared to be looping at the windowserver just prior to
this phase.

I inspected the install logs from a single user session and saw a
number of failed sudo attempts with PAM errors just prior to the
completion of the shrew install.


Hi Jeff,

I had an experience where the Shrew client installer accidentally clobbered the /etc symlink. Basically, OS X's /etc directory was really a symlink to somewhere else, but the Shrew installer actually created a /etc directory to put the iked.conf file in - but that meant that the symlink was replaced.

My symptom was that the Macbook would seem to boot but not give a login prompt, just a perpetually spinning wheel.
