<P>The various components of Linux FreeS/WAN are of course documented in
 standard Unix manual pages, accessible via the man(1) command.</P>
<P>Links here take you to an HTML version of the man pages.</P>
<H2><A name="man.file">Files</A></H2>

 private keys</DD>
</DL>
<P>These files are also discussed in the<A href="config.html">
 configuration</A> section.</P>
<H2><A name="man.command">Commands</A></H2>
<P>Many users will never give most of the FreeS/WAN commands directly.
 Configure the files listed above correctly and everything should be
 automatic.</P>
<P>The exceptions are commands for mainpulating the<A href="glossary.html#RSA">
 RSA</A> keys used in Pluto authentication:</P>
<DL>

<DD>extract<A href="glossary.html#RSA"> RSA</A> keys from<A href="manpage.d/ipsec.secrets.5.html">

 insertion in<A href="manpage.d/ipsec.conf.5.html"> ipsec.conf(5)</A> or
 in DNS records</DD>
</DL>
<P>Note that:</P>
<UL>
<LI>These keys are for<STRONG> authentication only</STRONG>. They are<STRONG>
 not secure for encryption</STRONG>.</LI>
<LI>The utility uses random(4) as a source of<A href="glossary.html#random">
 random numbers</A>. This may block for some time if there is not enough
 activity on the machine to provide the required entropy. You may want
 to give it some bogus activity such as random mouse movements or some
 command such as<NOBR> <TT>du /usr &gt; /dev/null &amp;</TT>.</LI>
</UL>

 testing and status checks:</P>
