            Bug ID: 215172
           Summary: update the ipsec portion of the handbook
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: herminio.hernandezjr@gmail.com

I followed the Handbook's guide in setting up an ipsec VPN (Ch13.7). The gu=
ide
has you set up two files /usr/local/etc/racoon/racoon.conf and
/usr/local/etc/setkey.conf. The first defines the tunnel settings and second
sets up the SDP (Security Policy Database). The first thing I noticed was t=
here
was no explanation on setting up the preshare key file (psk.txt). This was
located in the man page for racoon.conf. However after verifying all the
settings were correct I tested my tunnel and I kept running into this error

 ERROR: no policy found: 192.168.254.0/24[0] 10.134.0.0/16[0] proto=3Dany d=
ir=3Din

I finally figured out that the error was saying there was no policy defined=
 in
the database. I set it in setkey.conf but it was never loaded. I looked in =
the
man page for setkey and then ran the command 'setkey -v -f
/usr/local/etc/racoon/setkey.conf'. This loaded the file and my tunnel came=
 up.
I think it would be a good idea to add this to the handbook in case others =
run
into this issue.
