#3663 "Generate key for host" button does nothing

On my CentOS 5.4 box, clicking this button updates the timestamp on /etc/ipsec.secrets but does not create a key. ipsec.secrets contains:: RSA {
}
# do not change the indenting of that "}"

I seem to remember this used to work on CentOS w/ Webmin 1.441, at least that's what I said in bug 2207679...

When you click that button, Webmin runs a command like :

ipsec newhostkey --output /etc/ipsec.secrets --hostname your.hostname.com

If you run this manually, does it work OK?

No, it does not. It returns:

ipsec rsasigkey: configdir is required

Check out this forum posting : http://centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22906&forum=38

It suggests a solution of removing corrupt nss data files..
