Re: Use IPSEC as SSH replacement



My query about using some solution based on IPSEC to replace SSH,
originates from a desire to demonstrate and do something *useful* with
IPSEC as fast as possible, preferrably *NOW*. I was hoping some
minimal effort IKE (or something) specification that would give
at least the same as SSH, but using IPSEC architecture.

A solution that would be forward compatible with future "real"
solutions that were mentioned, secure DNS etc., when they become
available. It also should be as simple to use as ssh, and free to use
(don't require CAs that cost money to get).

Just doing PING tests is boring. Is there a test setup with IPSEC on a
host that would allow me to telnet in, either to IPSEC host itself or
to a some test host behind the IPSEC gateway, or even more ambitious,
have AH+ESP (tunnel) to SG, and another AH+ESP layer to the test host
behind it [however, I only do with manual keys...].
