[Swan] Cannot start ipsec service using systemd

Dear Elison,

I queried Google with "systemctl status=203/EXEC" which is the pluto 
exit code you report us and found this discussion at 
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=272075 This is specific 
to Fedora 16 but my guess is that it can also apply to Fedora 17.

It happens that the pluto code forks and exec's "addconn --autoall".
 From a root account or sudo'ing, can you also perform:
# ipsec addconn --autoall
# echo $?
On my side:
[philippe at victor libreswan-3.0]$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/ipsec addconn 
--autoall
002 "roadwarrior-l2tp-updatedwin": deleting connection
002 added connection description "roadwarrior-l2tp-updatedwin"
002 "roadwarrior-l2tp": deleting connection
002 added connection description "roadwarrior-l2tp"
002 "macintosh-l2tp": deleting connection
002 added connection description "macintosh-l2tp"
002 "roadwarrior": deleting connection
002 added connection description "roadwarrior"
[philippe at victor libreswan-3.0]$ echo $?
0

You may as well check your /var/log/secure so that we can get more 
information on the pluto failure.

Yours truly,
