hi I''m trying to get ipsec working with x509 certificates however I just can''t seem to. I''ve hit a road block and was wondering if someone could help me figure it out. my racoon.conf (I have it mirrored on the connecting machine. path pre_shared_key "/etc/racoon/psk.txt"; path certificate "/etc/certs"; remote anonymous { exchange_mode aggressive,main; my_identifier asn1dn; peers_identifier asn1dn; lifetime time 2 min; # sec,min,hour initial_contact on; proposal_check obey; # obey, strict or claim certificate_type x509 "slave1.public" "slave1.private"; proposal { encryption_algorithm 3des; hash_algorithm sha1; authentication_method rsasig; dh_group 2 ; } } sainfo anonymous { pfs_group 1; lifetime time 2 min; encryption_algorithm 3des ; authentication_algorithm hmac_sha1; compression_algorithm deflate ; } remote 192.168.0.29 { exchange_mode aggressive,main; my_identifier asn1dn; peers_identifier asn1dn; certificate_type x509 "slave1.public" "slave1.private"; peers_certfile "slave2.public"; proposal { encryption_algorithm 3des; hash_algorithm sha1; authentication_method rsasig; dh_group 2 ; } } my racoon.log says this 2007-02-01 15:12:54: INFO: @(#)ipsec-tools 0.6.3 (http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net) 2007-02-01 15:12:54: INFO: @(#)This product linked OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep 2006 (http://www.openssl.org/) 2007-02-01 15:12:54: ERROR: failed to bind to address 127.0.0.1[500] (Address already in use). 2007-02-01 15:12:54: ERROR: failed to bind to address 207.179.73.150[500] (Address already in use). 2007-02-01 15:12:54: ERROR: failed to bind to address 192.168.1.2[500] (Address already in use). 2007-02-01 15:12:54: ERROR: failed to bind to address 192.168.0.1[500] (Address already in use). 2007-02-01 15:12:54: ERROR: no address could be bound. 2007-02-01 15:34:02: INFO: @(#)ipsec-tools 0.6.3 (http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net) 2007-02-01 15:34:02: INFO: @(#)This product linked OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep 2006 (http://www.openssl.org/) 2007-02-01 15:34:02: WARNING: /etc/racoon/racoon.conf:42: ""slave2.public" This directive without certtype will be removed! 2007-02-01 15:34:02: WARNING: /etc/racoon/racoon.conf:42: ""slave2.public" Please use ''peers_certfile x509 "slave2.public";'' instead 2007-02-01 15:34:02: ERROR: failed to bind to address 127.0.0.1[500] (Address already in use). 2007-02-01 15:34:02: ERROR: failed to bind to address <my public IP>[500] (Address already in use). 2007-02-01 15:34:02: ERROR: failed to bind to address 192.168.1.2[500] (Address already in use). 2007-02-01 15:34:02: ERROR: failed to bind to address 192.168.0.1[500] (Address already in use). 2007-02-01 15:34:02: ERROR: no address could be bound. how do I get it to be bound? is it possible to have it not bound?
