If you have a problem and want to report it, please send mail about it to: Linux-IPSEC Mailing List For a number of reasons, we prefer that problem reports and discussions go to the list, not directly to us. Normally we will respond to the list. (Beware that the list goes worldwide; US citizens, read doc/exportlaws!) If you're using this software, you really should be on the list; to get onto it, send mail that looks about like this: To: Majordomo@clinet.fi help subscribe linux-ipsec end If you do send private mail to us or want a private reply from us, please make sure that the return address on your mail (From or Reply-To header) is a valid one. We lack time and energy to try to unravel addresses that have been mangled in a futile attempt to confuse spammers. In your mail, please include: + a brief description of the problem + which release of Linux FreeS/WAN is having the problem (see README) + whether you have made any changes to the release + what distribution of Linux you've got (e.g. "Red Hat release 4.2") + what release of the Linux kernel you've got (a number like 2.0.33) + what your network setup is (subnets, gateway addresses, etc.) + what you were trying to do with Linux FreeS/WAN + detailed instructions for reproducing the problem + exactly what went wrong, in detail + if it's a compile problem, the actual output from make (preferably edited down to only the relevant part, but when in doubt, be as complete as you can) showing the problem + if it's a run-time problem, the output from "ipsec barf" on all machines involved + any other error messages, complaints, etc. that you saw (please send the complete text of the messages, not just a summary of them) + a fix, if you have one (but remember, you are sending mail to people all over the world; US residents and US citizens in particular, please read doc/exportlaws before sending code -- even small bug fixes -- to the list or to us) When in doubt about whether to include some seemingly-trivial item of information, include it. It is rare for problem reports to have too much information, and common for them to have too little. This file is RCSID $Id: prob.report,v 1.6 1999/04/05 21:27:11 henry Exp $
