RACOON(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RACOON(8)NAMEracoon -- IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management daemonSYNOPSISracoon [-BdFv46] [-f configfile] [-l logfile] [-p isakmp-port]DESCRIPTIONracoon speaks IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management protocol, to establish security association with other hosts. SPD (Security Policy Database) in the kernel usually triggers to start racoon. racoon usually sends all of informational messages, warnings and error messages to syslogd(8) with the facility LOG_DAEMON, the priority LOG_INFO. Debugging messages are sent with the priority LOG_DEBUG. You should config- ure syslog.conf(5) appropriately to see these messages. -B Install SA(s) from the file which is specified in racoon.conf(5). -d Increase the debug level. Multiple -d will increase the debug level even more. -F Run racoon in the foreground. -f configfile Use configfile as the configuration file instead of the default. -l logfile Use logfile as the logging file instead of syslogd(8). -p isakmp-port Listen to ISAKMP key exchange on port isakmp-port instead of the default port number, 500. -v The flag causes the packet dump be more verbose, with higher debugging level. -4 -6 Specifies the default address family for the sockets. racoon assumes the presence of kernel random number device rnd(4) at /dev/urandom. Informational messages are labeled info, and debugging messages are labeled debug. You have to configure syslog.conf(5) if you want to see them in a logging file.RETURN VALUESThe command exits with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors.FILES/usr/local/v6/etc/racoon.conf default configuration file.SEE ALSOipsec(4), racoon.conf(5), syslog.conf(5), setkey(8), syslogd(8)HISTORYThe racoon command first appeared in ``YIPS'' Yokogawa IPsec implementation.KAMENovember 20, 2000 KAME
