DESCRIPTION

10     The ikec command line application provides a simple interface for users
11     to interact with iked(8) ( Shrew Soft IKE Daemon ). This interface allows
12     a user to control an IPsec VPN Client connection with a remote gateway.
13     The parameters used for the connection are described in a Site Configura‐
14     tion file ( see below ).
