FreeBSD 4.1 includes full IPSEC functionality - see the racoon port for
the KAME IKE daemon (as well as the relevant kernel options documented in
LINT). I believe racoon interoperates with Windows 2000 and FreeSWAN on
Linux (among others) - see www.kame.net and the docs included in the port
distfile for more information. General information on ipsec can be found
in the freebsd and netbsd handbooks (they use the same ipsec code as us).
