Re: Complie a "modified" FreeSwan

If you make changes to pluto only then 

 make
 make install 

in the pluto directory plus 

 ipsec setup restart 

is all that is needed to incorporating changes.
If you make changes to other userland programs
like e.g. utils/_confread, utils/auto, etc.
then 

 make programs
 make install 

in the freeswan directory will compile and
install the changes. 

If you make changes in the kernel, then build
KLIPS as a module by typing 

  make module 

in the freeswan directory and copy the
newly generated ipsec.o module into 

 /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/net/ipsec
