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?
if you apply the following patch to Darwin kernel source (xnu) Apple-201-15 tag, kernel portion will become ready for IPsec. ftp://ftp.itojun.org/pub/misc/darwin-v6-patch.Apple-201-15.diff there are problems in compiling userland tools (like setkey(8) for setting up ipsec secrets) so it is still useless... itojun _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
