_STACKMANAGER(8) Executable programs _STACKMANAGER(8)NAMEipsec__stackmanager - internal script to bring up kernel components for
Libreswan
SYNOPSIS
ipsec _stackmanager start
ipsec _stackmanager stop
DESCRIPTION
ipsec _stackmanager is called from within the init sub-system (systemd,
upstart, sysv initscripts) to bring up the Libreswan kernel component
as configured via the protostack= option in the ipsec.confi
configuration file.
This involves loading and optionally unloading of the required kernel
modules. Because the Linux kernel cannot autodetect most crypto related
drivers on-demand, _stackmanager handles loading the hardware random
number (RNG) device drivers, OpenBSD/FreeBSD Cryptographic Framework
(OCF) drivers, CryptoAPI drivers, and the modules for the specific
stack (Linux NETKEY/XFM or KLIPS/MAST). Probing for OCF supported
hardware is not supported - those modules must be loaded by the system
before the start of the Libreswan sub system.

This script was introduced in Libreswan. On the older Openswan systems,
this functionality was split over various script files such as ipsec
_startnetkey, ipsec _startklips, ipsec _realsetup and ipsec setup. Man
