FreeBSD Gets 'Fast IPsec' Implementation

An anonymous reader writes "Sam Leffler (yes, one of the authors of the BSD Design and Implementation book you have on your bookshelf if you know anything with operating systems) has just committed a new FAST_IPSEC implementation to the FreeBSD 5.x source tree. It's a merge of the KAME IPsec implementation and the OpenBSD hardware crypto accelerated IPsec implementation. You can read the commit message here."

FreeS/WAN and Linux

[FattMattP]

When the hell is FreeS/WAN going to be merged into Linux?

Probably not soon, i think they are avoiding to add it to Linux Kernel to avoid some problems with cryptographic restrictions in some countries. Anyway most distributions include it in their kernels.

According to recent posts on LKML, it's rather unlikely that FreeS/WAN will be merged. Much more likely, it will be something DaveM and Alexy? cook up, borrowing heavily from the USAGI IPV6 implementation. This may even include hooks for hardware acceleration.

FreeS/WAN's various 'tudes pretty much marginalized them, but, FWIW, at least one of the core team is supportive of the current effort.

Elegy for *BSD

[Anonymous Coward]

I am a *BSD user
and I try hard to be brave
That is a tall order
*BSD's foot is in the grave.

I tap at my toy keyboard
and whistle a cheerful tune
but keeping happy is so hard,
*BSD will be dead soon.

Each day I wake and softly sob
Nightfall finds me crying
Not only am I a zit faced slob
but *BSD is dying.

Does this work?
