IPSEC_SHOWHOSTKEY(8)						Executable programs					      IPSEC_SHOWHOSTKEY(8)

NAME

       ipsec_showhostkey - show host's authentication key

SYNOPSIS

       ipsec showhostkey [--ipseckey] [--left] [--right] [--dump] [--verbose] [--version] [--list] [--gateway gateway] [--precedence precedence]
	     [--dhclient] [--file secretfile] [--keynum count] [--id identity]

DESCRIPTION

       Showhostkey outputs (on standard output) a public key suitable for this host, in the format specified, using the host key information
       stored in /etc/ipsec.secrets. In general only the super-user can run this command, since only he can read ipsec.secrets.

       The --left and --right options cause the output to be in ipsec.conf(5) format, as a leftrsasigkey or rightrsasigkey parameter respectively.
       Generation information is included if available. For example, --left might give (with the key data trimmed down for clarity):

	     # RSA 2048 bits   xy.example.com	Sat Apr 15 13:53:22 2000
	     leftrsasigkey=0sAQOF8tZ2...+buFuFn/

       The --ipseckey option causes the output to be in opportunistic-encryption DNS IPSECKEY record format (RFC 4025). A gateway can be specified
       with the --gateway, which currently supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The host name is the one included in the key information (or, if that
       is not available, the output of hostname --fqdn), with a .  appended. For example, --ipseckey --gateway 10.11.12.13 might give (with the
       key data trimmed for clarity):

		 IN    IPSECKEY  10 1 2 10.11.12.13  AQOF8tZ2...+buFuFn/"

       The --version option causes the version of the binary to be emitted, and nothing else.

       The --verbose may be present one or more times. Each occurance increases the verbosity level.

       The --dhclient option cause the output to be suitable for inclusion in dhclient.conf(5) as part of configuring WAVEsec. See
       <http://www.wavesec.org>.

       Normally, the default key for this host (the one with no host identities specified for it) is the one extracted. The --id option overrides
       this, causing extraction of the key labeled with the specified identity, if any. The specified identity must exactly match the identity in
       the file; in particular, the comparison is case-sensitive.

       There may also be multiple keys with the same identity. All keys are numbered based upon their linear sequence in the file (including all
       include directives)

       The --file option overrides the default for where the key information should be found, and takes it from the specified secretfile.

DIAGNOSTICS

       A complaint about "no pubkey line found" indicates that the host has a key but it was generated with an old version of FreeS/WAN and does
       not contain the information that showhostkey needs.

FILES

       /etc/ipsec.secrets

HISTORY

       Written for the Linux FreeS/WAN project <http://www.freeswan.org> by Henry Spencer. Updated by Paul Wouters for the IPSECKEY format.

BUGS

       Arguably, rather than just reporting the no-IN-KEY-line-found problem, showhostkey should be smart enough to run the existing key through
       rsasigkey with the --oldkey option, to generate a suitable output line.

       The --id option assumes that the identity appears on the same line as the : RSA { that begins the key proper.

IPSEC_KLIPSDEBUG(8)						Executable programs					       IPSEC_KLIPSDEBUG(8)

NAME

       ipsec_klipsdebug - set KLIPS and MAST debug features and level. Other stacks are not supported.

SYNOPSIS

       ipsec klipsdebug
	     ipsec klipsdebug --set flagname
	     ipsec klipsdebug --clear flagname
	     ipsec klipsdebug --all
	     ipsec klipsdebug --none
	     ipsec klipsdebug --help
	     ipsec klipsdebug --version

DESCRIPTION

       Klipsdebug sets and clears flags that control various parts of the debugging output of Klips (the kernel portion of FreeS/WAN IPSEC). The
       form with no additional arguments lists the present contents of /proc/net/ipsec_klipsdebug. The --set form turns the specified flag on,
       while the --clear form turns the specified flag off. The --all form turns all flags on except verbose, while the --none form turns all
       flags off.

       The current flag names are:

       tunnel
	   tunnelling code

       tunnel-xmit
	   tunnelling transmit only code

       pfkey
	   userspace communication code

       xform
	   transform selection and manipulation code

       eroute
	   eroute table manipulation code

       spi
	   SA table manipulation code

       radij
	   radij tree manipulation code

       esp
	   encryptions transforms code

       ah
	   authentication transforms code rcv receive code

       ipcomp
	   ip compression transforms code

       verbose
	   give even more information, BEWARE: a)this will print authentication and encryption keys in the logs b)this will probably trample the
	   4k kernel printk buffer giving inaccurate output

       All Klips debug output appears as kernel.info messages to syslogd(8). Most systems are set up to log these messages to /var/log/messages.
       Beware that klipsdebug --all produces a lot of output and the log file will grow quickly.

       The file format for /proc/net/ipsec_klipsdebug is discussed in ipsec_klipsdebug(5).

EXAMPLES

       klipsdebug --all
	   turns on all KLIPS debugging except verbose.

       klipsdebug --clear tunnel
	   turns off only the tunnel debugging messages.

FILES

       /proc/net/ipsec_klipsdebug, /usr/local/bin/ipsec

BUGS

       It really ought to be possible to set or unset selective combinations of flags.
