I have been using www.shrew.net ipsec (gui) client on my road warrior
ubuntu 7.10 (linux) machines very successfully with our openBSD 4.2
vpn/pf gateways.  I did have to use an openBSD-side isakmpd.conf method
vs. an ipsec.conf/ipsecctl method as I couldn't author an ipsec.conf
that worked.

shrew.net has a dependency on ipsec-tools 0.6.n or 0.7.0 (on the linux
machine), but it shields you from the grottiness of it while giving the
road warrior end-user a click and go vpn session.

The shrew.net client is about to version to 2.1.  While 2.0.x works for
me, if it doesn't for you, then 2.1 has many fixes and enhancements.

good luck.

Can anyone reccomend a client configuration for IPsec from a roaming
Linux machine that works with OpenBSD's ipsecctl?

I have tried Openswan and racoon and both have thier problems.
Currently using X509 certificates but if anyone has public keys
working that would be good too.

Thanks,
Tom
