Hello! I have some trouble trying to configure a VPN with two gateways. One of them uses IPSec [FreeSwan/Linux] with a single key, 256bits length, specified in /etc/ipsec.secrets. As FreeSwan manual page says, if i put esp=3des-md5-96, will be used a "64bit IV key (internally generated), a 192bit 3des ekey and a 128bit hmac-md5 akey (RFC2451, RFC2403). The part I miss is: how can i split this key to be able to set up the other gateway with OpenBSD/FreeBSD? Or what must be done to use this single key for encryption and authentication on the xBSD gw? Here is a part from ipsec.conf:
and from ipsec.secrets:
Thanks,
I'm facing a problem interpreting the shared memory key on an AIX machine.
(1) I go to a property file and I see the following:
shm_key = "119112066"
(2) So I now go the command prompt and do this:
ipcs -m | grep 119112066
And, I do not find it. So what I do is to run the... (2 Replies)
Hello,
I'm trying to setup a gateway VPN between two routers across an unsecured network between two local networks. The routers are both linux and I'm using the ipsec tools, racoon and setkey. So far hosts from either local net can successfully ping hosts on the other local net without issue.

Hi, I've used the following way to set ssh public key authentication and it is working fine on Solaris 10, RedHat Linux and SuSE Linux servers without any problem. But I got error 'Server refused our key' on Solaris 8 system. Solaris 8 uses SSH2 too. Why? Please help. Thanks.

Hello.
I am new to this forum and I would like to ask for advice about low level POSIX programming.
I have to implement a POSIX compliant C shared library.
A file will have some variables and the shared library will have some functions which need those variables.

vpnd(8) BSD System Manager's Manual vpnd(8)NAME
vpnd -- Mac OS X VPN service daemon
SYNOPSIS
vpnd [-d | -n | -x] [-i server_id]
vpnd [-h]
DESCRIPTION
vpnd allows external hosts to tunnel via L2TP over IPSec or via PPTP from an insecure external network (such as the Internet) into a "secure"
internal network, such as a corporate network. All traffic through the tunnel is encrypted to provide secure communications, with L2TP/IPSec
providing a higher level of security than PPTP.
vpnd listens for incoming connections, pairs each one with an available internal IP address, and passes the connection to pppd(8) with appro-
priate parameters. Parameters for vpnd are specified in a system configuration (plist) file in XML format. This file contains a dictionary
of configurations each identified by a key referred to as a server_id. Parameters include the tunneling protocol, IP addresses to be
assigned to clients, PPP parameters etc.
vpnd is launched for a particular configuration by using the -i option which takes the server_id to be run as an argument. vpnd can also be
run without the -i option. In this case it will check the configuration file for a special array which contains a list of configurations to
be run and will fork and exec a copy of vpnd for each server_id to be run. Running multiple vpnd processes simultaneously for a particular
protocol is not allowed.
vpnd will be launched during the boot process by a startup item if the field VPNSERVER is defined in /etc/hostconfig with the value -YES-.
Typically, in this case it will be launched without the -i option and will check the configuration file to determine which configuration(s)
are to be run.
vpnd logs items of interest to the system log. A different log path can be specified in the configuration file.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-d Do not move to background and print log strings to the terminal.
-h Print usage summary and exit.
-i Server_id in the plist file that defines the configuration to be run.
-n Do not move to background, print log information to the terminal, and quit after validating the argument list.
-x Do not move to background.
EXAMPLES
The default invocation,
vpnd
will read the list of configurations to run from the configuration file and launch them. This default configuration may be enabled at
startup by defining VPNSERVER to -YES-.
To specify a particular configuration to run use
vpnd -i server_id
