Hello Ashok,

No, I mean that the default values for the different
settings are supposed to be defined in "conn %default",
not "conn default".
The first conn name sets the default values, but the second
name declares a conn called "default", it doesn't set any default values.
"authby=secret" is the same as "leftauth=psk" and "rightauth=psk".
"authby" is deprecated. Use "leftauth" and "rightauth".

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Kind Regards,
Noel Kuntze
