[strongSwan] Can't get logging to work

Hello Mark,

You probably have selinux enabled. The charon binary doesn't have the necessary privileges
to write to a file in /var/log.
You can either create a policy to allow it to do that specifically for your /var/log/strongswan/strongswan.log
file or set selinux to permissive mode: "setenforce permissive"

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards,
Noel Kuntze
