linux-ipsec: How to know whats in your Linux system?

  We now have a three state problem, KLIPS could be a module, staticly compiled into the kernel or not there at all. My problem as a USSA only script writer is to figure out which is the current (runtime) case.
  Looking for a module is easy as there is a file to look for. It's not full proff as it could be in at least two different directorys and the kernal might not have the modules interface compiled into it.

  The other two modes (staticly linked and just not there) are very hard to deal with from a shell script point of view.

  Humm, would it mess up anything if I tryed to run tncfg, if that failed try to insmod, if that works try tncfg again and if that fails guess that we have no ipsec?
  Yeiks.

  Maybe the 'ipsec' command should have a --isthere flag? Does anyone have an idea about the 'right' way to do this under Linux, or is this still an unsolved problem in Linux?
