Isn't this the FreeSwan / OpenSwan implementation?

I'm using the Linux port of Racoon: http://packages.debian.org/racoon;
other possiblities include the port of the OpenBSD IKE deamon.

These are meant to be used with the Linux 2.6 IPSEC stack, rather than
the FreeSwan / OpenSwan one; I *think* the Linux 2.6 IPSEC stack
actually comes from USAGI, doesn't it? Pluto works on that stack with
some patches, but that information might be outdated.
