Racoon should use netlink for reasons far and beyond the problem you are trying to address.

Any comments on that? I have no general objections to those changes although I am backlogged and thus have not studied them in detail. Jamal is having what appears to be a healthy dialogue with you about the details so I'm not concerned much :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
