Hi
I'd be grateful for answers regarding the following questions about manual
keying (I need it since I use IPSec with only authentication):

1. Why is a pre-shared-key required in the secrets file for a manual
connection, the two endpoints build the SA locally. Is there an
authentication protocol that runs between the machines?

2. What happens when enough time had passed, or a lot of data transmitted
over the connection - is it closed? a new SA is built?

3. Is there a software interface that allows adding and removing connections
to the SA data base, or only the command line tools?

thanks,
-noam
