Package: racoon
Version: 1:0.5.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
"/etc/init.d/racoon start" is producing error messages like the
following on my system:
insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.12.3/kernel/crypto/crc32c.ko': -1
Unknown symbol in module
insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.12.3/kernel/net/ipv6/ipcomp6.ko':
-1 Unknown symbol in module
These errors come up because the crc32c and ipcomp6 kernel modules have
dependencies on other modules and insmod does not insert them. modprobe
does insert dependencies.
The attached patch to /usr/sbin/racoon-tool alters racoon-tool to use
/sbin/modprobe instead of /sbin/insmod to load kernel modules. Also,
"/sbin/modprobe -r" is used to remove modules instead of /sbin/rmmod.
