Simplifying OE troubleshooting

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi all,


One of my current tasks is to create doc that will help folks troubleshoot
new OE setups.

While working on the OE troubleshooting chart at 

http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_snaps/CURRENT-SNAP/doc/quickstart.html#oe.trouble

I discovered that a lot of different OE errors have the same symptom:
"Possible authentication failure: no acceptable response to our first
encrypted message". This makes troubleshooting OE hard.

I think the solution has two components:
1. Discovering early (and often) whether this machine can do OE.
2. Printing informative error messages at various stages in this process.

DHR, will you take it from here, or shall I propose more specifics?


Cheers,

Claudia
