>Description:
	I have been unable to figure out how to configure racoon(8) from
	the documentation provided.  In particular:

	* The differences between the identifier types (fqdn, user_fqdn)
	  and what they mean to the remote system is not documented.

	* The location of the certificate file is not documented.

	* The format of the pre-shared-key file is not well defined.  (An
	  example would help.)

	* It is unclear whether I need a `remote' stanza, a `policy'
	  stanza, or both.  I get the *impression* that `remote'
	  corresponds to SAD entries, and `policy' corresponds to SPD
	  entries.

	* The documentation is all in Japanglish.

	This is making it difficult to configure racoon(8), and thus
	difficult to use IPsec.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to configure racoon(8).

>Fix:
	Not provided.

 If racoon(8) was removed from NetBSD, why is this PR suspended?

 because racoon (or some other IKE implementation) is likely to be
 added back to NetBSD some day; when this occurs, the PR should be
 reanalyzed (and closed if the IKE implementation fixes the problem).

 	any suggestions on fixing grammar?  all racoon(8) developers are
 	non-native English speaker.
