Quoting James Harper (james.harper@bendigoit.com.au):

Do you have a reference for this? None of the literature I've read on the subject make any claims for this sort of interoperability.

I'm probably misremembering, then. It was one of the currently available and open source implementations for Linux. I'd have to do some checking to find that answer.

I suspect you're thinking of OpenSwan/FreeSwan then.

(Me, I'm in a position to be able to mostly just rely on SSH, which meets my needs. I don't need to tunnel SMB and such.)

SMB over a WAN is pretty painful anyway. SMB2 is allegedly better but I haven't had the opportunity to compare. James
