Because of the missing <b>/etc/ipsec.secrets</b> file, roadwarrior <b>carol</b>
and gateway <b>moon</b> each automatically generate a PKCS#1 RSA private key
and a self-signed X.509 certificate. Because the UML testing environment does
not offer enough entropy, the non-blocking /dev/urandom device is used in place
of /dev/random for generating the random primes.
<p>
The self-signed certificates are then distributed to the peers via scp
and are used to set up a road warrior connection initiated by <b>carol</b>
