You will find the Debian packages (amd64/i386) for :

    - Debian Sid
    - Debian Squeeze
    - Debian Lenny (built with support of the backports)

at the following address:

http://www.dthconnex.com/packages/fwknop/

There are not in a repository. Sorry for this.

Those are drafts but work. They still need a bit of care :p!

Once the package are installed, you may need to update both fwknopd.conf and
access.conf according to your configuration. Then, in order to start the daemon
you may want to set the START_DAEMON option in /etc/default/fwknop-c-server to
yes.

I have found convenient to move the fwknop logs to a specific file in /var/log
by adding the enclosed fwknopd.conf to /etc/rsyslog.d. Just in case some are
interested :)
