IPSEC is a set of security extensions to IP which provide authentication and encryption. Free/SWan in Debain is affected by this and is said to cause a kernel panic. This problem has been fixed in version 1.96-1.4 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 1.99-1 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain Free/SWan packages. We recommend that you upgrade your freeswan package. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
