Thanks for the report. We found the buglet in the standard init script.

The quick fix is to add the following line after the "make install" in the spec file:

install -m 0755 initsystems/sysvinit/init.rhel.in %{buildroot}%{_initrddir}/ipsec

Or grab the src or binary rpm for libreswan-3.5-2 from downloads.libreswan.org.
