All,
I noticed on NetBSD.org that IPsec support is built in since 1999 but you
must rebuild the kernel to use it. I poked around under the kernel framework
of Mac OS X and found a header file related directly to IPSec along with
several other header files that are related to the way IPSec is implemented
on NetBSD. Darwin is based on NetBSD so this makes sense.
I know that there are plenty of people out there looking for a IPSec support
for Mac OS X. At least I know I am chopping at the bit for it!
I am not a Unix guru but am learning (slowly) SO I was wondering if anyone
out there, that really has a good grasp of BSD networking, has rebuilt
Darwin/Mac OS X with IPSec turned on in the kernel and been able to get
IPSec tunneling to work?
Also: I am very surprised that Apple hasn't in the last few Mac OS X
refreshes turned this on and provided it to the user community? I could have
used it months ago and others in the company I work for are also waiting on
it too and there must be many other companies that have remote users that
need this for VPN access...
And: Does anyone have an idea if Apple is considering the next Mac OS X and
Darwin refreshes with IPSec options built into the Kernel and providing a
nice UI/Command line way to set this all up to work?
Thanks,
Guy Gardner
