racoon
speaks the IKE
(ISAKMP/Oakley)
key management protocol,
to establish security associations with other hosts.
The SPD
(Security Policy Database)
in the kernel usually triggers
.racoon
usually sends all informational messages, warnings and error messages to
syslogd(8)
with the facility
LOG_DAEMON
and the priority
LOG_INFO
Debugging messages are sent with the priority
LOG_DEBUG
You should configure
syslog.conf5
appropriately to see these messages.
-4
-6
Specify the default address family for the sockets.
-B
Install SA(s) from the file which is specified in
racoon.conf5.
-d
Increase the debug level.
Multiple
-d
arguments will increase the debug level even more.
-F
Run
racoon
in the foreground.
-f configfile
Use
configfile
as the configuration file instead of the default.
-L
Include
file_name:line_number:function_name
in all messages.
-l logfile
Use
logfile
as the logging file instead of
syslogd(8).
-P isakmp-natt-port
Use
isakmp-natt-port
for NAT-Traversal port-floating.
The default is 4500.
-p isakmp-port
Listen to the ISAKMP key exchange on port
isakmp-port
instead of the default port number, 500.
-v
This flag causes the packet dump be more verbose, with higher
debugging level.
racoon
assumes the presence of the kernel random number device
rnd(4)
at
/dev/urandom
RETURN VALUES
The command exits with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors.
