Post subject:  openswan host-to-host

hey guys... trying to get a host-to-host vpn up between two servers... it *appears* to be working however i'm trying to do some testing with tcpdump to make sure it's actually encrypting the data...

from server b running `ping -p feedfacedeadbeef server-a`

i see on server a `tcpdump -i eth0 host server-b -x`

Code:
21:03:31.582575 IP server-a > server-b: ESP(spi=0x651bd3dd,seq=0x24)

Now I've read that if you see the ESP packets... your set... however I'm also seeing the clear text packets...

Just want to make sure... is this only because this is a host-to-host tunnel and it's decrypting the packets... ?

Or could it be circumventing the tunnel - ?
