I am trying to activate ipsec vpn in openbsd 4.1 which is installed as a virtual machine on VMWare server on Linux as host.

I have made the necessary changes to the configurations in ipsec.conf, pf.conf, rc.conf files as needed by ipsec vpn.

The vpn connection os between 2 openbsds (both virtual machines) on the same box (linux as host as mentioned earlier)

Now when I try to execute ipsecctl -f /etc/ipsec.conf it gives me the following error:

ipsecctl: ike_ipsec_establishment: open(/var/run/isakmpd.fifo): No such file or directory

How to generate this file? Is it not generated automatically when I run the isakmpd -K command?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Viren
