They [3]announced the new version at CeBIT which fully supports the new Linux 2.6 native IPsec stack. According to the [4]Openswan website, it was started 'by a few of the developers who were growing frustrated with the politics surrounding the FreeS/WAN project.' There is a [5]FAQ that explains how the various parts of IPsec on Linux work together. I guess that means US citizens can finally submit patches, and that distributions like RedHat/Fedora can now include it in their distribution. FreeS/WAN has always had the most features and most the most user-friendly configuration. It is good to see that will continue. And their [6]mailing list finally seems to refuse spam too."
