[LUG] IPSEC

 

Hi all,

I've been trying to configure Linux as an IPSEC client to connect to my router 
at home.

I just can't figure out how to do it. I've seen the official HOWTO 
(www.ipsec-howto.org) but it's useless - it gives lots of sample 
configuration files, without actually explaining what half of the 
configuration directives do. I've looked at various other HOWTOs as well, but 
still haven't found a good one.

Does anyone know of an idiot's guide to configuring Linux as an IPSEC client 
using pre-shared keys?

I've configured Linux as a PPTP client before which was dead easy, but IPSEC 
is just beyond me...

Thanks,
David.
