Hi Danil,

Thanks to all for replying..

I executed (build) the kernel with hte propely
commands by changing the "GENERIC" with "MYKERNEL" at
the "ident" option.

#commands used are
make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL && reboot

But still ipsec support is not there. If ipsec exists
the file ipsec.conf should be there under " /etc "
folder,but it is not there..

I found ' MYKERNEL ' folder under the following
directory:

:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL  

It contains so many object files and C-header files,
In that ipsec.o, ipsec.h and other ipsec related file
like esp,ah etc., are appearing.

So with this can I do anything to add ipsec, Please
reply me soon.

Also I tried using 'setkey' to find the ipsec support
with following commands and I got the following
output:
-------------------------
mohan# setkey -D
No SAD entries.
mohan# setkey -DP
No SPD entries.
mohan#    
-------------------------- 

And atlast can I use any ipsec patches for FreeBSD.
So, please suggest me any sort of solution to get
ipsec on my FreeBSD (4.11)

with Regards,

Mohan..
