IPSEC_BARFSection: Maintenance Commands (8)Updated: 14 Oct 1999 Index Return to Main Contents NAMEipsec barf - spew out collected IPSEC debugging informationipsec look - show minimal debugging information SYNOPSISipsec barf [ --short ]DESCRIPTIONBarf outputs (on standard output) a collection of debugging information (contents of files, selections from logs, etc.) related to the IPSEC encryption/authentication system. It is primarily a convenience for remote debugging, a single command which packages up (and labels) all information that might be relevant to diagnosing a problem in IPSEC.Look outputs a minimal subset of this, intended as a quick look at current connections and related information, in a somewhat less self-explanatory format optimized for terseness. The --short option limits the length of the log portion of barf's output, which can otherwise be extremely voluminous if debug logging is turned on. Barf censors its output, replacing keys and secrets with brief checksums to avoid revealing sensitive information. Look output does not contain such information. Beware that the output of both commands is aimed at humans, not programs, and the output format is subject to change without warning.

We think we've eliminated the last such case, but one never knows...
