Well, i didn't do anything. This is the default behaviour of strongswan in debian 6.0.6.<div>Thanks for the dhcp plugin hint. There is indeed a dhcp plugin, but it uses a UDP socket</div><div>(see dhcp_socket_create() in ./src/libcharon/plugins/dhcp/dhcp_socket.c)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I specified the list of plugins to load in /etc/strongswan.conf, basically the default list except</div><div>"dhcp", then restart charon and it was no more using udp/68.</div><div><br></div><div>
Is it normal that charon is loading dhcp plugin by default ? </div><div>Is there any drawbacks to specify the list of plugins explicitly ? </div><div><a href="http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/1/wiki/PluginLoad">http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/1/wiki/PluginLoad</a> says it is not recommended, </div>
<div>but is there any other way to prevent charon to listening on udp/68 ?</div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
