DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the racoon-tool command. racoon-
tool(8) is a perl script that can be used to control the racoon(8) IKE
daemon and the SPD database within the kernel via the setkey(8)
command. Various operations that it can do are described below.
You can also optionally choose not to use it via reconfiguring the
racoon package using dpkg-reconfigure(8).
