install ipsec tools

[Ben Timby]

Xavier, you should attempt to install the package from the ports tree. 
FreeBSD uses the ports tree much like mandrake uses RPM files. The 
difference of course is that RPM files are binary packages while the 
ports tree simply provides a makefile which will fetch the source, 
configure and compile the software. The Additionally the FreeBSD folks 
verify that the makefiles work, and you will likely have good success 
installing from source in this manner. Ports are arranged in a file 
tree, so you need to find the specific folder that contains the port you 
wish to install, you can do a search in the following manner:

cd /usr/ports
make search key=racoon

All ports with that keyword in their name will be listed, go to the 
directory that is specified, and do:

make install

That will fetch/configure/compile/install the package for you.

Also, read the FreeBSD handbook concerning ports, and you should be all set.

Hopefully this helps.
