Title:
  VPNaaS: ipsec.secrets file permissions prevents LibreSwan from
  starting

Status in neutron:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The man pages for ipsec.secrets generally state that the file should
  be owned by root or super-user and access blocked to everyone else
  (chmod 0600).  Recent changes have dealt with the file permissions
  issue. However, in neutron vpnaas the file ownership is that of the
  process and due to strict permission checks through "capabilities",
  this actually results in a failure to establish connections with
  LibreSwan since pluto runs as root. This seems to be LibreSwan
  specific.
