A Perl script for configuring and starting racoon
Authored by: ssevenup on Apr 01, '03 03:22:34PM
I knew the appliances were compatible with racoon (the built-in firewall on OSX)

Wouldn't that be the built in VPN in OSX, not firewall? And I think racoon is just the key manager.

A Perl script for configuring and starting racoon
Authored by: jreades on Apr 01, '03 06:28:32PM

Sorry, you're exactly right -- got carried away with a rhetorical flourish and reversed the sense of the sentence. My client uses NetScreen VPN appliances to provide access to subnets behind a firewall. NetScreen's appliances are IPSec compatible which means that racoon is able to negotiate a secure connection with them and provide tranparent access to machines behind the firewall.

Sorry about any confusion.
