DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the racoon-tool command.  racoon-tool(8) is a perl
       script that can be used to control the racoon(8) IKE daemon and the  SPD  database  within
       the  kernel  via  the  setkey(8) command.  Various operations that it can do are described
       below.

       You can also optionally choose not to use it via reconfiguring the  racoon  package  using
       dpkg-reconfigure(8).
