Thank you, worked also on my raspberry (raspbian)

I had to do it that way:

sudo rm /var/cache/bind/managed-keys.bind*
sudo service bind9 restart

Now anything workes fine again.

I have not tested on 10.8 so i don't know if apple has made changes in that version i am running 10.7.5

Strange... on 10.8.4 racoon fails for me with "Unknown certtype #4" trying to sign a hash during phase 1. And reading the source I can't see how it would work without keychain... unless there's some way to authenticate without using the private key :) I must be missing something.

I notice you're using certificate_type x509 with file paths in racoon config, which I can't get to work on OSX. I read apple's source (back to OSX 10.7) and from first glance, it looks like they only support "certificate_type x509 in_keychain". Can you confirm if the file paths are working? Thanks for the post.

Re: Topdog.za.net :: Python modules you should know: PyGPGME

Just thought I would add a comment that in the encryption example the callback doesn't work with GPG2, it will always prompt for the passphrase. Unfortunately this is the case with RHEL6. More of an FYI.

Beyond that, this a great article, help me ton.

Thanks!!!

Those are address families 18 = AF_LINK 2 = AF_INET 30 = AF_INET6, You can find them in netifaces.address_families

Hugo A M Torres — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 17:16:23 -0000

Re: Topdog.za.net :: Python modules you should know: dnspython

silvan steiner — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 04:05:18 -0000

here the solution:

preference = 10
exchange = "mail.example.com"

update = dns.update.Update('example.com', keyring=keyring)
update.replace('host', 300, 'a', dns.tokenizer.Tokenizer("%s %s"%(preference , exchange)) )

response = dns.query.tcp(update, '10.0.0.1')regardssilvan

No its not authenticating, that shows the IKE session, the IPSEC session is not coming up.

Add this new conn

conn rw-xauth-psk
leftfirewall=yes
leftauth=psk
right=%any
rightauth=psk
rightauth2=xauth
rightsourceip=192.168.2.0/24
rekey=yes

And add your preshared keys to /etc/strongswan/ipsec.secrets

There are not that many to begin with for some reason, but I wait with bated breath to the possibility of one becoming available soon. I used your script for my old site, but am converting to Joomla and have been stumped as how to incorporate it as a module.
