By the way... what IKE is the one that people are actually using? ipsec-tools or (Super)FreeSWAN (pluto)?
I know this isn't the answer you want, but based upon reports I've seen personally the userbase is roughly split right down the middle.
I'm just trying to figure out where things are headed. It's obviously undesirable to retain that situation indefinitely. The few times I've looked at FreeS/WAN I've always thought it was a total mess to configure, and ipsec-tools seems to be simpler, but I guess it's not feature-complete enough (NAT-T missing, for one.)
My main reason for delving into this is selfish: I'm sick of having to taint the kernel on my laptop due to inserting a proprietary Crisco module, which of course means I'm stuck at 2.4.x. For that, I need working NAT-T and XAuth. XAuth seems simple enough, but the Pluto codebase scares me a bit.
