[Ltib] /etc/rc.d/iniit.d vs /etc/init.d

[Chris Westervelt]

Does anyone know why the current configuration of rc and init file organization in LTIB is not really conformant with typical Linux etc directory structure. I am trying to implement a StrongSwan implementation and the instructions from Cisco make reference to /etc/init.d for starting the ipsec service. I upgraded to 5.0.8 of the StrongSwan package but there is no startup script like /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipsec.

Hi Chris,

The reason is that the philosophy was to have the target configuration managed on the host. Standard init scripts could not do that.

Thanks Stuart. Do you know if anyone was ever able to get IPSEC working with a Cisco ASA with the implementation in LTIB. I looked back through the message board but I did not find anything.

Hi Chris,

Not as far as I know, but it should be possible.
