There was no need to reinvent hot water. Solaris comes with all the necessary tools to make IPSec work seamlessly, including tools for X.509 certificate generation and/or tools to create a Diffie-Hellman preshared key. And it's all documented in step-by-step detail on http://docs.sun.com/ > and install manually in /usr instead of /usr/local if > you like. One should NEVER, EVER "install manually" unless you are about to make a package out of the software, and even in that case one should use `lofiadm` / LOFS to create a fake root to install into. No software should ever be installed on the system unless it's packaged, period.
