I integrated Bjoern's patch to my own compile when he sent it, but, I
don't understand how, I didn't report his patch to the official NAT-T
patch (where I was sure I did it).

I just sent another mail in this thread to confirm that the patch is
up to date now.

That is another quite old discussion.
ipsec-tools's setkey changed quite a lot from system's one, and
actually, using the NAT-T patch means "forget system's setkey for at
least some features".

system's setkey will work as it worked before as soon as it have been
recompiled (needed as some PFkey structs size changed), but won't dump
NAT-T related informations.

To have such informations, you'll have to use ipsec-tools's setkey.

Looks like we were all waiting for each others, but it should be
better now.
