IPsec-tools
===========
This package provides a way to use the native IPsec functionality
in the Linux 2.6+ kernel. It works as well on NetBSD and FreeBSD.
- libipsec, a PF_KEYv2 library
- setkey, a tool to directly manipulate policies and SAs
- racoon, an IKEv1 keying daemon
IPsec-tools were ported to Linux from the KAME project
(http://www.kame.net) by Derek Atkins <derek@ihtfp.com>.

History
=======
Ipsec-tools was originally developed by the KAME project. It was then moved
on SourfeForge, at the following address:
http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/
Due to too restricted commit accesses, the development stalled, and the
source code was moved into NetBSD's CVS repository, in:
src/crypto/dist/ipsec-tools
However, many distributions still take their tarballs from SourceForge, and
each distribution maintains local patches.
FreeBSD maintains its own libipsec and setkey tools, in:
head/lib/libipsec/
head/sbin/setkey/
A Trac used to exist, at the following address:
https://trac.ipsec-tools.net/
but the domain expired and was not renewed.
The mailing lists from SourceForge still exist:
ipsec-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
ipsec-tools-users@lists.sourceforge.net
