From the sparse documentation ... ================================================================================ USAGE ================================================================================ The main process that handles IKE negotiations is iked and must be run as root. By default, it will detach itself from the terminal and execute as a daemon. To force foreground operation, use the -F switch. A sample configuration file is included in this distribution and will be installed in the etc system configuration directory. The configuration should be suitable to allow for client operation but can also be modified to allow for site to site or client gateway operation as well. See the iked.conf man page for more details. Once the iked process has been launched, the VPN Access Manager application ( ikea ) is used to build remote access client configurations and initiate client connections. When the Access Manager GUI is used to initiate a client connection, a VPN Connect application ( ikec ) process is created. This process interacts with iked to initiate the connection. Please see the online documentation available at http://www.shrew.net for more details. ================================================================================ EXPORTED CONFIGURATION FILES ================================================================================ A site configuration contains all the data required to connect to a site using the VPN client tools. These configuration files can be exported or imported using the VPN Access Manager application. The file format used to describe the site configuration is a text ducument that contains one attribute per line with one or more attribute values. The attribute type is denoted by a single charachter field followed by the attribute name field and then by a value. The fields are separated using a colon charachter. For example, the following line describes a string attribute names network-host with a value of 10.1.1.1 _______________________________________________ vpn-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shrew.net/mailman/listinfo/vpn-help
