FC2 test1 uses the 2.6 kernel, which provides built-in ipsec support.  
The ipsec-tools package provides utilities for configuring and managing 
ipsec VPN.  For a new VPN implementation you should check that out 
first.  I intend to do some experimenting with that as soon as I get a 
second 2.6 system to play with.
