  I just noticed this:

Feb 16 03:42:51 east pluto[24094]: added connection description "block"
Feb 16 03:42:51 east pluto[24094]: added connection description "clear-or-private"
Feb 16 03:42:52 east pluto[24094]: added connection description "clear"
Feb 16 03:42:52 east pluto[24094]: added connection description "private-or-clear"
Feb 16 03:42:52 east pluto[24094]: added connection description "private"

  This means that FreeS/WAN has "default" conn's that have a particular meaning to Pluto. These name (and thats all they are, names) might be in use by FreeS/WAN systems now or easily used in the future by someone not quite thinking about what they are doing.

  I would suggest that we declare that any name starting with an underscore ("_") be a 'system' conn'ection and that anyone fooling in that space had better tend to their own wounds. Then we can change the above names to _BLA before 2.00 goes out the door and hopefully never have to worry about this minor thing again.
