kvpnc 0.9.0 (Default branch)
12-26-2007
KVpnc is a KDE frontend for various VPN clients. It supports Cisco VPN (vpnc, vpnclient (a proprietary client from Cisco)), IPSec (FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan, racoon), PPTP (pptpclient), OpenVPN, L2TP over IPSec (l2tpd, xl2ltpd) (usable with FreeS/WAN, Openswan, strongSwan, and racoon) and Vtun. Smartcards will be supported within OpenVPN and strongSwan. vpnc is a replacement for the Cisco VPN client, and is used as a client for the Cisco3000 VPN Concentrator. FreeS/WAN, Openswan, and strongSwan are IPSec clients for Linux 2.4.x/2.6.x, and racoon is an IPSec client for Linux 2.6.x and *BSD. l2tpd is a Linux L2TP VPN client/server.|

RACOON(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RACOON(8) NAME
racoon -- IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management daemon SYNOPSIS
racoon [-46BdFLv] [-f configfile] [-l logfile] DESCRIPTION
racoon is used to setup and maintain an IPSec tunnel or transport channel, between two devices, over which network traffic is conveyed securely. This security is made possible by cryptographic keys and operations on both devices. racoon relies on a standardized network pro- tocol (IKE) to automatically negotiate and manage the cryptographic keys (e.g. security associations) that are necessary for the IPSec tunnel or transport channel to function. racoon speaks the IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management protocol, to establish security associations with other hosts. The SPD (Security Policy Database) in the kernel usually triggers racoon. racoon usually sends all informational messages, warnings and error messages to syslogd(8) with the facility LOG_DAEMON and the priority LOG_INFO. Debugging messages are sent with the pri- ority LOG_DEBUG. You should configure syslog.conf(5) appropriately to see these messages. -4 -6 Specify the default address family for the sockets. -B Install SA(s) from the file which is specified in racoon.conf(5). -d Increase the debug level. Multiple -d arguments 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 Include file_name:line_number:function_name in all messages. -l logfile Use logfile as the logging file instead of syslogd(8). -v This flag causes the packet dump be more verbose, with higher debugging level. racoon assumes the presence of the kernel random number device rnd(4) at /dev/urandom. RETURN VALUES
The command exits with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors. FILES
/private/etc/racoon/racoon.conf default configuration file. /private/etc/racoon/psk.txt default pre-shared key file. SEE ALSO
ipsec(4), racoon.conf(5), syslog.conf(5), setkey(8), syslogd(8) HISTORY
The racoon command first appeared in the ``YIPS'' Yokogawa IPsec implementation. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
The use of IKE phase 1 aggressive mode is not recommended, as described in http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/886601. BSD
