Well done for the, (possibly unintentional), subliminal hint that _I_
don't know what a PKI is ;-).

(Of course, I do)

Yes, that pretty much solves the issue I was thinking of.

However, I would like to add for the record that I still think that
it's an advantage to avoid using static PSKs even for simple
applications.  It's easier to set up in the beginning, but it makes
more admin work in the long term, because if you ever want or need
to change either one of the keys, then you need to change it on
both machines.  With certificates you can avoid that.

Setting up iked propperly, (with certs), is not particularly difficult.

But anyway, OK by me this version.
