      1 IPsec-tools
      2 ===========
      3 
      4 This package provides a way to use the native IPsec functionality 
      5 in the Linux 2.6+ kernel. It works as well on NetBSD and FreeBSD.
      6 
      7 	- libipsec, a PF_KEYv2 library
      8 	- setkey, a tool to directly manipulate policies and SAs
      9 	- racoon, an IKEv1 keying daemon
     10 
     11 IPsec-tools were ported to Linux from the KAME project 
     12 (http://www.kame.net) by Derek Atkins <derek (a] ihtfp.com>.

     28 History
     29 =======
     30 
     31 Ipsec-tools was originally developed by the KAME project. It was then moved
     32 on SourfeForge, at the following address:
     33 
     34 	http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/
     35 
     36 Due to too restricted commit accesses, the development stalled, and the
     37 source code was moved into NetBSD's CVS repository, in:
     38 
     39 	src/crypto/dist/ipsec-tools
     40 
     41 However, many distributions still take their tarballs from SourceForge, and
     42 each distribution maintains local patches.
     43 
     44 FreeBSD maintains its own libipsec and setkey tools, in:
     45 
     46 	head/lib/libipsec/
     47 	head/sbin/setkey/
     48 
     49 A Trac used to exist, at the following address:
     50 
     51 	https://trac.ipsec-tools.net/
     52 
     53 but the domain expired and was not renewed.
     54 
     55 The mailing lists from SourceForge still exist:
     56 
     57 	ipsec-tools-devel (a] lists.sourceforge.net
     58 	ipsec-tools-users (a] lists.sourceforge.net
