PPPoE is covered in the ppp(8) man page, under "PPP OVER TCP and UDP". please note that pipsecd is not very well documented, but it does seem to follow the KAME setkey(8) commands for setup and use. there is also KAME for freebsd 3.x (i think the most recent version is 3.3 though, check the site) as ofr other resources, i don't believe there are any real ones posted, although, when the archives are searchable, check -security, -net, and -isp. -- jan +-----/ f. johan beisser /------------------------------+ email: jan[at]caustic.org web: http://www.caustic.org/~jan "knowledge is power. power corrupts. study hard, be evil."
