Bring a goat to sacrifice when you set this up ;)

Left & right is meaningless. It has no meaning - they're just names. 
Choose one unit to be left, the other right. That's it. It's like 
calling one firewall 'Joe' and the other 'Fred'. They choose generic
terms to confuse people.

It *might* do 3DES; IIRC the FreeS/WAN devs will not implement DES, even
though it is required by the IPSec standard. *shrug*.

Cheers,
