Are you going to try it?  If so, PLEASE let me know how it works!

Or are you going to wait for official Redhat RPMS?  
(may not be soon)

> And the Cyrpto API?!  Does this mean ipSec support won't suck?  PPTP (i.e
> MPPE-128 can be built in)?  

The word I heard is YES, FreeS/WAN should be able to work without a
kernel patch.  HOWEVER, FreeS/WAN has to catch up with this latest
development before it'll work.  Not sure about PPTP.

Don't quote me on that.  My sources are not totally reliable.  :-)
