Well, that's bad from your log manager.

strongswan tries to use hardware crypto when it is available. So it
loads the padlock module which fails to load with an error saying there
is not padlock available. Which is totally normal on an Intel PC.

This is nothing harmful, but the program shouldn't notify.

No, we are still testing those changes.

If we can be sure that there are no more severe problems, we can start
the documentation. At this stage, it might be possible that changes in
the UI are required.

Please do a little more testing...
