[strongSwan] Roadwarrior Config

Hi Chris,

1) IKEv1 comes with XAUTH whereas IKEv2 goes with EAP, so please
   don't mix up hose client authentication methods. Several IKEv2
   EAP examples can be found under the link

   http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/IKEv2Examples

   or interoperating with the Windows 7 client (case B) under

   http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Windows7

2) If strongSwan is a VPN gateway with right=%any then it always
   acts as a passive responder (how should it initiate a connection
   if the client's destination IP address is not known?)
   Thus ipsec up rclients does not make sense.
   Just execute ipsec start and wait for the clients to connect.

Best regards

Andreas
