Firstly I haven't had a lot to do with IPSEC or debian systems.
My immediate problem is trying to get *some* ipsec system on the AMD-64 
box. I had previously loaded isakmpd package (port from BSD) and all I 
managed to do was fill up the logs (2GB in 3 days).

# cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep "model name|MHz"
model name      : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 242
cpu MHz         : 1593.845
model name      : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 242
cpu MHz         : 1593.845

# cat /etc/debian_version
3.1

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-pure64 sid main

apt-get install openswan

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
 
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
 
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  openswan: Depends: ipsec-tools but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

apt-get install freeswan

installed
E: Broken packages

I have an extensive guide on using FreeSWAN or BSD with isakmpd to 
interface to the SonicWall, I'll have another bash at isakmpd on Linux in 
the meantime. Hmm... somewhat more successful... not authenticating.
