is used to control racoon() operation, if ipsec-tools was configured with adminport support. Communication between and racoon() is done through a UNIX socket. By changing the default mode and ownership of the socket, you can allow non-root users to alter racoon() behavior, so do that with caution.

The following commands are available:

reload-config

This should cause racoon() to reload its configuration file. This seems completely broken at the time this man page is written.

show-schedule

Unknown command.

show-sa [isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec]

Dump the SA: All the SAs if no SA class is provided, or either ISAKMP SAs, IPsec ESP SAs, IPsec AH SAs, or all IPsec SAs. Use -l to increase verbosity.

flush-sa [isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec]

is used to flush all SAs if no SA class is provided, or a class of SAs, either ISAKMP SAs, IPsec ESP SAs, IPsec AH SAs, or all IPsec SAs.

Xo establish-sa

Establish an SA, either an ISAKMP SA, IPsec ESP SA, or IPsec AH SA. The optional -u username can be used when establishing an ISAKMP SA while hybrid auth is in use. will prompt you for the password associated with username and these credentials will be used in the Xauth exchange. saopts has the following format:

isakmp {inet|inet6} src dst

{esp|ah} {inet|inet6} src/prefixlen/port dst/prefixlen/port

{icmp|tcp|udp|any}

Xo vpn-connect

This is a particular case of the previous command. It will establish an ISAKMP SA with vpn_gateway .

delete-sa saopts

Delete an SA, either an ISAKMP SA, IPsec ESP SA, or IPsec AH SA.

vpn-disconnect vpn_gateway

This is a particular case of the previous command. It will kill all SAs associated with vpn_gateway .

show-event [-l]

Dump all events reported by racoon(8) , then quit. The -l flag causes to not stop once all the events have been read, but rather to loop awaiting and reporting new events.

Command shortcuts are available:

rc

reload-config

ss

show-sa

sc

show-schedule

fs

flush-sa

ds

delete-sa

es

establish-sa

vc

vpn-connect

vd

se

show-event

The command should exit with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors.

/var/racoon/racoon.sock No or

/var/run/racoon.sock

racoon() control socket.

Once was kmpstat in the KAME project. It turned into but remained undocumented for a while. Emmanuel Dreyfus Aq manu@NetBSD.org wrote this man page.
