I am working on getting 3DES working (it's in the ipsec-0.4 code base, but no doc on how to configure it!) now and could use more documentation my self.

Use the setsa program provided in the utils directory. Something along the lines of setsa esp 3des-md5 i key should do the trick. It was really a choice between distributing the code and lingering on it for a few more days until the docs were better, and I chose the first. Bsides, the source *is* the ultimate documentation :-) /ji
