    I am new to webmin and just installed it. The first thing i wanted to try and set up was an IPsec tunnel. when I try and go into the ipsec configuration I get

    The FreeSWAN command /usr/sbin/ipsec was not found on your system or is not the right program. Maybe it is not installed, or your module configuration is incorrect.

    I then tried to re-install the ipsec module and it showed that it installed it in /usr/share/webmin/ipsec  however when I tried to go to the ipsec configuration again i still got the same error. I assume all i need to do is change the module configuration but I am not sure what needs to be changed. Can someone help me out.
    Thanks

    Webmin is a software program that provides interfaces to manage other software programs. But Webmin is not those other software programs. Installing the Webmin IPSec module does not provide the actual IPSec capability because it isn't the IPSec software program set.

    Having said this, is the FreeSWAN program suite installed on your system? If not you have to install it. And you might want to consider another since FreeSWAN is end of life and no longer supported.
