racoon

IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management daemon

Syntax:

racoon [-BdFLv46] [-f configfile] [-l logfile] [-p isakmp-port]
       [-P isakmp-natt-port]

Runs on:

QNX Neutrino

Options:

-4 or -6
Specify the default address family for the sockets.
-B
Install security association(s) from the file that is specified in /etc/racoon/racoon.conf.
-d
Increase the debug level. Each additional d increases the debug level.
-F
Run racoon in the foreground.
-f configfile
Use configfile as the configuration file instead of the default. The default configuration file is /etc/racoon/racoon.conf.
-L
Include file_name:line_number:function_name in all messages.
-l logfile
Use logfile as the logging file instead of syslogd.
-P isakmp-natt-port
Use isakmp-natt-port for NAT-Traversal port-floating. The default is 4500.
-p isakmp-port
Listen to ISAKMP key exchange on port isakmp-port instead of the default port number, 500.
-v
Cause the packet dump to be more verbose, with a higher debugging level.

Description:

The racoon daemon speaks IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management protocol, to establish security association with other hosts. The SPD (Security Policy Database) in the kernel usually triggers to start racoon.

Note: This utility is PAM-aware and supported by the PAM framework. This utility parses its configuration files before PAM does and requires additional configuration to enable PAM. For more information about how QNX Neutrino uses the OpenPAM framework, see the Security Developer's Guide.

Examples:

For examples showing how to configure racoon directives and statements, see /etc/racoon/racoon.conf.
