Pardon the two-list post, but since IPsec is both networking and security...

I've been trying to port racoon2 (http://www.racoon2.wide.ad.jp/) - a
BSD-licensed IKE daemon (and more) - to OpenSolaris.

Darren Moffat suggested I post this URL:

        http://blogs.sun.com/danmcd/entry/racoon2_on_opensolaris_first_tiny

here for people to see.  And Darren --> I'm working the IKEv1 bits first as a
regression test against the massive PF_KEY changes I need to make to racoon2,
then I'll do IKEv2.  It's gonna be a while, due to the divergence between
KAME/WIDE and Solaris 9+ from the underpowered 2367 spec.

The racoon2 port is part one of a two-part IKEv2 process.  Once I get racoon2
ported, and hopefully contributed back to the racoon2 community, we will
figure out what the integrated-into-ON solution will be.  In spite of the OEM
core, we have several bits of IKE that are open-sourceable (e.g. ikeadm(1M)
and it's daemon-side support) and we have lots of OpenSolaris-specific
technologies to exploit.

It's only a small step, but we are moving IKE bits as the IKEv1 initiator.
