DESCRIPTION

10     The iked program communicates using the IKE protocol ( RFC 2409 ) to pro‐
11     vide automatic keying for an IPsec capable host. The daemon communicates
12     with the host os via PF_KEY ( RFC 2367 ) to obtain the local policy con‐
13     figuration and to receive key aquisition requests. The daemon is also
14     capable of acting as a client or client gateway and can create appropri‐
15     ate IPsec policy entries on bahalf of the host or peer to faclilitate
16     remote access IPsec VPN connectivity. For more informaiton, please see
17     the ikea(1) and ikec(1) man pages.
