[Ipsec-tools-devel] patches for review

[Timo T. <tim...@ik...>]

Hi,

I will commit the patches 01 - 04 from:
http://solidboot.com/~fabled/ipsec-tools/

on Friday after testing them more (and any bugs).
Please review and comment.

I've mentioned the three first ones earlier. The fourth one
is new, and uses monotonic system clock where available. It might
need linker switches so I'll try to test it on Linux and on some
BSDs before commit.

Basically it switches from time() to clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC)
on systems where it's available to measure relative time. It
makes racoon immune to system time changes by ntp etc. The current
code has very big problems if time happens to jump backwards;
especially if it happens just after start-up and the scheduler
current_time() starts to give out negative numbers.
