Angelos, maybe I wasn't clear. What I meant was simply that PF_KEY isn't
IPsec (it's just an API), not that, since OpenBSD has PF_KEY, it hasn't
IPsec. I know OpenBSD has the NRL code.

This could be a really interesting thing. I'm doing something near to
impossible, Multicast IPsec key distribution. As platform I'm using
FreeBSD+KAME with some custom patches.

What is isakmpd ? Is it an IKE daemon? I saw in the NRL IPsec web pages
that they have two IKE/ISAKMP daemons, one from Cisco, but both aren't
available outside the USA.

Basically I'm looking for some sample code using PF_KEY to do key
exchanges.
