[strongSwan] ECDSA authentication in BSD

[Chris Rogers]

Hello,

I'm still fairly new to StrongSwan, but have been working with advanced
configuration settings in an attempt to implement a specific security
protocol.  In my tests, I've discovered that it works fine on Linux, but
I've run into problems while trying to get it to work on BSD; namely, as
BSD doesn't have netlink, I'm getting the 'unable to allocate SBIs from
kernel' error.

Excerpt from ipsec.conf:

authby=ecdsasig
esp=aes256gcm16!
ike=aes256-sha2_384-ecp256


Ultimately, what I would like to know is this: Does ecdsa authentication *
require* Linux Netlink, and if not how might I go about dealing with this
error in BSD?  If more information is needed I can provide it tomorrow.

Chris
