RACOON(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RACOON(8)
NAME
racoon(5,8) -- IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management daemon
SYNOPSIS
racoon(5,8) [-BFvdL46] [-f configfile] [-l logfile] [-p isakmp-port]
[-P isakmp-natt-port]
DESCRIPTION
racoon(5,8) speaks IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) key management protocol, to establish
security association with other hosts. SPD (Security Policy Database) in(1,8)
the kernel usually triggers to start racoon(5,8). racoon(5,8) usually sends all of
informational messages, warnings and error(8,n) 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(1,n) which is specified in(1,8) racoon.conf(5).
-F Run racoon(5,8) in(1,8) the foreground.
-f configfile
Use configfile as the configuration file(1,n) instead of the default.
-l logfile
Use logfile as the logging file(1,n) 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(1,8) all mes-
sages.
-4
-6 Specifies the default address family for the sockets.
racoon(5,8) assumes the presence of kernel random(3,4,6) number device rnd(4) at
/dev/urandom. Informational messages are labeled info(1,5,n), and debugging
messages are labeled debug. You have to configure syslog.conf(5) if(3,n) you
want to see them in(1,8) 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.
