hi,
I have a few questions on racoon - any help
appreciated. I dont subscribe to the list so i would be grateful if you
cc and replies to carre@logica.com <mailto:carre@logica.com>  too...cheers !
 
1) According to the FreeBSD handboom racoon runs in user-space..does the SAD
exist in user-space too or is it in the kernel. In whatever situation is
there an API which
I can get at which accesses the SAD...I am interested because I am looking
at a
user-space implementation of a IPSec-like security protocol...so yeh..any
info on SAD structure/APIs would be great..
 
2) Is there any useful documentationn out there on racoon (configuration,
etc?). Failing
that any useful pointers would be good...ta !
 
3) Can anyone provide any info on the mechanism by which IKE communicates
with
IPSec when, say, an SA doesnt exist and one has to be set up on-the-fly so
to speak..
 
Cheers and TIA
Ewan
