-IPsec Starter -- Version 0.2 [Contributed by Arkoon Network Security]
-============================ [ http://www.arkoon.net/]
-
-IPsec Starter is aimed to replace all the scripts which are used to
-start and stop strongSwan and to do that in a quicker and a smarter way.
-
-IPsec Starter can also reload the configuration file (kill --HUP or periodicaly)
-and apply the changes.
-
-Usage:
- starter [--debug] [--auto_update <x seconds>]
- --debug: enable debugging output
- --no_fork: all msg (including pluto) are sent to the console
- --auto_update: reload the config file (like kill -HUP) every x seconds
- and determine any configuration changes
-
-FEATURES
---------
-
-o Load modules of the native Linux 2.6 IPsec stack
-
-o Launch and monitor pluto
-
-o Add, initiate, route and del connections
-
-o Attach and detach interfaces according to config file
-
-o kill -HUP can be used to reload the config file. New connections will be
- added, old ones will be removed and modified ones will be reloaded.
- Interfaces/Klips/Pluto will be reloaded if necessary.
-
-o Full support of the %defaultroute wildcard parameter.
-
-o save own pid in /var/run/starter
-
-o Upon reloading, dynamic DNS addr will be resolved and reloaded. Use
- --auto_update to periodicaly check dynamic DNS changes.
-
-o kill -USR1 can be used to reload all connections (delete then add and
- route/initiate)
-
-o /var/run/dynip/xxxx can be used to use a virtual interface name in
- ipsec.conf. By example, when adsl can be ppp0, ppp1, ... :
- ipsec.conf: interfaces="ipsec0=adsl"
- And use /etc/ppp/ip-up to create /var/run/dynip/adsl
- /var/run/dynip/adsl: IP_PHYS=ppp0
-
-o %auto can be used to automaticaly name the connections
-
-o kill -TERM can be used to stop FS. pluto will be stopped.
-
-o Can be used to start strongSwan and load lots of connections in a few
- seconds.
