Description

The ikec Qt GUI application provides a simple interface for users to interact with iked(8) ( Shrew Soft IKE Daemon ).

For more information about managing Site Configuration files, please see the ikea(1) man page. Please note, the ikec application is not typically started directly by a user but as a sub-process of the ikea(1) Qt GUI application.

The options are as follows:

      -r name'            Specify the Site Configuration name.

-u username
Specify the Xauth username for the connection.

-p password
