NAME
     racoon - IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management daemon

SYNOPSIS
     racoon [-BFvdL46] [-f configfile] [-l logfile] [-p isakmp-port]
	    [-P isakmp-natt-port]

DESCRIPTION
     racoon speaks IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management protocol, to establish
     security association with other hosts.  SPD (Security Policy Database)
     in the kernel usually triggers to start racoon.  racoon usually sends
     all of informational messages, warnings and error messages to syslogd(8)
     with the facility LOG_DAEMON, the priority LOG_INFO.  Debugging messages
     are sent with the priority LOG_DEBUG.  You should configure
     syslog.conf(5) appropriately to see these messages.

     -B	     Install SA(s) from the file which is specified in
	     racoon.conf(5).

     -F	     Run racoon in the foreground.

     -f configfile
	     Use configfile as the configuration file instead of the default.

     -l logfile
	     Use logfile as the logging file instead of syslogd(8).

     -p isakmp-port
	     Listen to ISAKMP key exchange on port isakmp-port instead of the
	     default port number, 500.

     -P isakmp-natt-port
	     Use isakmp-natt-port for NAT-Traversal port-floating. The
	     default is 4500.

     -v	     The flag causes the packet dump be more verbose, with higher
	     debugging level.

     -d	     Increase the debug level.	Multiple -d will increase the debug
	     level even more.

     -L	     Include file_name:line_number:fuction_name location in all mes-
	     sages.

     -4

     -6	     Specifies the default address family for the sockets.

     racoon assumes the presence of kernel random number device rnd(4) at
     /dev/urandom.  Informational messages are labeled info, and debugging
     messages are labeled debug.  You have to configure syslog.conf(5) if you
     want to see them in a logging file.

RETURN VALUES
     The command exits with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors.

FILES
     /usr/local/v6/etc/racoon.conf  default configuration file.

SEE ALSO
     ipsec(4), racoon.conf(5), syslog.conf(5), setkey(8), syslogd(8)

HISTORY

     tion.
