+__Choices: earliest, after NFS, after PCMCIA
Default: earliest
_Description: When to start strongSwan:
- There are three possibilities when strongSwan can start: before or
- after the NFS services and after the PCMCIA services. The correct answer
- depends on your specific setup.
- .
- If you do not have your /usr tree mounted via NFS (either you only mount
- other, less vital trees via NFS or don't use NFS mounted trees at all) and
- don't use a PCMCIA network card, then it's best to start strongSwan at
- the earliest possible time, thus allowing the NFS mounts to be secured by
- IPSec. In this case (or if you don't understand or care about this
- issue), answer "earliest" to this question (the default).
- .
- If you have your /usr tree mounted via NFS and don't use a PCMCIA network
- card, then you will need to start strongSwan after NFS so that all
- necessary files are available. In this case, answer "after NFS" to this
- question. Please note that the NFS mount of /usr can not be secured by
- IPSec in this case.
+ StrongSwan starts during system startup so that it can protect filesystems
+ that are automatically mounted.
.
- If you use a PCMCIA network card for your IPSec connections, then you only
- have to choose to start it after the PCMCIA services. Answer "after
- PCMCIA" in this case. This is also the correct answer if you want to fetch
- keys from a locally running DNS server with DNSSec support.
+ * earliest: if /usr is not mounted through NFS and you don't use a
+ PCMCIA network card, it is best to start strongSwan as soon as
+ possible, so that NFS mounts can be secured by IPSec;
+ * after NFS: recommended when /usr is mounted through NFS and no
+ PCMCIA network card is used;
+ * after PCMCIA: recommended if the IPSec connection uses a PCMCIA
+ network card or if it needs keys to be fetched from a locally running DNS
+ server with DNSSec support.

-_Description: Do you want to create a RSA public/private keypair for this host?
- This installer can automatically create a RSA public/private keypair
- with an X.509 certificate for this host. This can be used to authenticate
- IPSec connections to other hosts and is the preferred way for building up
- secure IPSec connections. The other possibility would be to use pre-shared
- secrets (PSKs, passwords that are the same on both sides of the tunnel) for
- authenticating an connection, but for a larger number of connections RSA
- authentication is easier to administer and more secure. Note that
- having a keypair allows to use both X.509 and PSK authentication for IPsec
- tunnels.
+_Description: Create an RSA public/private keypair for this host?
+ StrongSwan can use a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) or an RSA keypair to authenticate
+ IPSec connections to other hosts. RSA authentication is generally considered
+ more secure and is easier to administer. You can use PSK and RSA authentication
+ simultaneously.

use an existing one in the next step.

-_Description: Do you wish to enable opportunistic encryption in strongSwan?
- strongSwan comes with support for opportunistic encryption (OE), which stores
- IPSec authentication information (i.e. RSA public keys) in (preferably
- secure) DNS records. Until this is widely deployed, activating it will
- cause a significant slow-down for every new, outgoing connection. Since
- version 2.0, strongSwan upstream comes with OE enabled by default and is thus
- likely to break your existing connection to the Internet (i.e. your default
- route) as soon as pluto (the strongSwan keying daemon) is started.
