How to move from Openswan in F10 to F11?



I have IPsec working in F10 with Openswan. Cert handling in F11 is
different because of NSS. How do I migrate? My F10 layout looks like:
  /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts
  /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts/ca.crt
  /etc/ipsec.d/certs
  /etc/ipsec.d/certs/china thewrittenword com crt
  /etc/ipsec.d/certs/vpn.thewrittenword.com.crt
  /etc/ipsec.d/crls
  /etc/ipsec.d/private
  /etc/ipsec.d/private/local.key
  /etc/ipsec.d/private/local.pub
  /etc/ipsec.d/tww.conf
  /etc/ipsec.d/tww.secrets

For F11, I copied the F10 config and then did the following:
  # cd /etc/ipsec.d
  # certutil -N -d /etc/ipsec.d
  Enter a password which will be used to encrypt your keys.
  The password should be at least 8 characters long,
  and should contain at least one non-alphabetic character.

  Enter new password: [empty]
  Re-enter password: [empty]
  # certutil -A -n china thewrittenword com -t "p,p,p" \
  -i certs/china thewrittenword com crt -d /etc/ipsec.d
  # certutil -A -n vpn.thewrittenword.com -t "p,p,p" \
  -i certs/vpn.thewrittenword.com.crt -d /etc/ipsec.d
  # certutil -A -n "TWW CA" -t "C,C,C" \
  -i cacerts/ca.crt -d /etc/ipsec.d

I made changes to the following files:
  [tww.conf]
          authby=rsasig
          rightrsasigkey=%cert
          rightid= vpn thewrittenword com
  -       rightcert=vpn.thewrittenword.com.crt
  +       rightcert=vpn.thewrittenword.com
          leftrsasigkey=%cert
          leftid=china thewrittenword com
  -       leftcert=china thewrittenword com crt
  +       leftcert=china thewrittenword com
          leftsendcert=always

  [tww.secrets]
  - china@thewrittenword.com: RSA /etc/ipsec.d/private/local.key
  +: RSA china thewrittenword com

When I run "/etc/init.d/ipsec restart", /var/log/messages has:
  Jun 25 00:35:16 localhost ipsec__plutorun: 002 loading certificate from china thewrittenword com 
  Jun 25 00:35:16 localhost ipsec__plutorun: 002 loading certificate from vpn.thewrittenword.com 
  Jun 25 00:35:16 localhost ipsec__plutorun: 002 added connection description "tww"

Then, when I try to establish the IPsec connection:
  # ipsec auto --up tww
  ...
  003 "tww" #1: Can't find the private key from the NSS CERT (err -8166) 

Any ideas?

BTW, README.nss from openswan-2.6.21-nss.patch should be included in
openswan-doc.
