No it should be in the pluto log output.

try running: ipsec pluto --config /etc/ipsec.conf --stderrlog --nofork

and it should be in the last few lines of output.

Really? we need awk to _build_ ? That's possible i guess, but surprises
me. But most systemd do have some kind of awk version installed.

If that works for you, I can't tell you not to do that. But for us, it
would be nice to actually get to the error you are seeing, so we can fix
it for everyone!
